A suggestion for a workshop on Territorial Development of E-Governance 
in Bulgaria was accepted. It will be hosted by Assist. Prof. Dr. Kamen 
Petrov (University for National and World Economy, Bulgaria). The 
workshop is associated with the different rates of modernization of the 
different areas in Bulgaria, including e-governance. To a great extent 
the regional development of the country assumes that each region or 
territory has a specific feature or an own vision about their 
development. This implies that each region can focus on them through the 
e-Governance, by which the question is how can be obtained most 
effectively by developing e-Technologies and focus on the e-Governance. 
For participation in the workshop are expected presentations up to 4 
pages. If you would like to take part in the workshop, please, send your 
application form by 25th March, 2014 to e-mail address: (iscmi /at/ tu-sofia.bg)

The VI ISC “E-Governance” stimulates collaboration, discussions, sharing
