PPP

new e-Ten funded project

Participants from administrations and the private sector are invited to take part in new working groups that will explore concrete ways of concluding agreements between administrations for transfer of good practice. The PPP project is part of a bigger set of initiatives that are currently run by the Commission and its working groups are designed to move the eGovernment knowledge agenda forward by facilitating practical exchange of good practice.

PPP: new e-Ten funded project

The working groups are being established by the new PPP (Provide eGovernment Good Practice Portability) project. The groups will enable the people behind good practices to meet face to face with parties from other administrations and explore practical ways of transferring good practice. The working groups will be platforms for administrations to conclude memoranda of understanding, joint ventures or other concrete agreements that will lead to the good practice, or elements of it, being transferred.

The four working groups are:

The e-Forum Association embraces:

Electronic Identity - based on BELPIC, the Belgian personal identity card
Secure infrastructure - based on FAST, Fournisseur d’Accès Sécurisés Transactionnels, document exchange infrastructure (France)
Cross-border portals - based on the OresundDirekt information portal (Denmark/Sweden)
Citizen portals - based on Liverpool City Council’s citizens’ portal (UK)

The overall objective of PPP is to create a functioning brokerage for eGovernment good practice. This will be a vital tool in sharing the benefits of eGovernment across Europe and developing interoperability.

The consortium behind PPP consists of Steria Benelux (co-ordinator), Belgium based eGovernment association e-Forum, Sheffield City Council (UK) and Generalitat Valenciana (Spain). Prominent academics working on eGovernment will act as rapporteurs for the working groups, ensuring a high level of reporting of each group’s progress and deliverables. The rapporteurs are:

Professor Herbert Kubicek, University of Bremen, Germany (Electronic identity working group)
Professor Antonio Alabau, Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain (Secure infrastructure working group)
Professor Mike Martin, Newcastle University, UK (Cross-border portals working group)
Professor François Heinderyckx, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium (Citizen portals working group)

Participation in working groups is free for public sector representatives. Public sector travel and accommodation costs can be refunded.

Participation in a working group requires registration.
