The Junior Faculty School is a full day event on 1 September, for sharing experiences to advance the career of young researchers interested in digitalization and government (see conference website for more information).

The conference is organized by the IFIP 8.5 Working group on Information Systems in Public Administration (IFIP WG 8.5) and the Digital Government Society (DGS). The aim of WG 8.5 is to improve the quality of e-government information systems at international, national, regional and local levels.

DGS is a global, multi-disciplinary organization of scholars and practitioners interested in the development and impacts of digital government.

We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions and hope to welcome you to Krems, Austria!
