This course explains the foundational components of e-Governance and their interaction in an information society. It starts with an introduction to information society and how it has established the environment for e-governance development. Then, the main building blocks of e-governance, their aims, initiatives, and enablers, and how they are related to external subjects and domains are introduced. As the nature of the course is interdisciplinary, it entails an intersection of multiple domains by explaining political, legal, social, economic, and IT layers impacting e-governance implementation.
To cover the named areas, various e-governance experts and practitioners are invited to share their insights and experiences with the class during an in-person seminar week, November 6th – 9th, in Tallinn, Estonia, at the Mektory Innovation Hub (Raja 15). The seminar week will also include mentoring and activity sessions to help students initiate their preliminary case studies required for passing the course and help them have a solidified starting point for the 2nd semester Case Study masters exam.
The course curriculum is built on the practical and theoretical knowledge gained from various e-governance projects and initiatives in Estonia and worldwide.
