Digital Governance Strategies in a Complex World

This research line is part of the INOV.EGOV Project (RL1)

The expected scientific outcomes of this research line are as follows:

RL1.R1 – New results on the conceptualisation, design, measurement and monitoring of digital governance and digital transformation of State institutions and Public Administration, at multiple levels, to face complex, uncertain times and contribute to structure effective strategies for sustainable development.

RL1.R2 – New results on the methodology of EGOV national, regional, and local strategies design, and their validation through international case studies.

RL1.R3 – New results and evidence on harnessing digital governance approaches to address emergency situations and crisis contexts.

RL1.R4 – Collaborative dynamics with EGOV active agents and institutions in different countries to support and validate research findings, as well as to foster the local implementation of pilot projects in the domain covered by this RL.

Therefore, the deliverables associated to the scientific outcomes of this RL will be:

Results
