2010 iGov Research Institute
July 18-25, 2010
The Hague & Delft, The Netherlands
The Center for Technology in Government at the University at Albany is
pleased to announce the 2010 iGov Research Institute held in the
Netherlands, from July 18-25, 2010. Supported by the US National Science
Foundation, the Institute was created for doctoral students from around the
world who are interested in the impacts of information and communication
technologies on government and governance. The iGov Institute includes both
academic sessions and practical field work and is organized around the
experiences of a city or region using advanced information policies and
technologies for economic, cultural, and social benefits. The faculty team
comprises internationally known researchers as well as senior government
officials. This year our field venue is The Hague in the Netherlands. Our
local university partner and residential location is TU Delft.
Past iGov students have given the program high praise, calling it "the best
experience in collaborative interdisciplinary research" connected to
practical e-governance challenges. I hope you will identify and encourage
qualified doctoral students to apply to this week-long, intensive
residential program focused on ways to advance, study, and understand
digital government research in an international context. Please also share
this announcement with your colleagues.
