The Problem: Gap between Society
                    and Governance
   Society: increasingly          Governance: often
    interconnected, flexible,       silos-based, linear,
    fast-evolving,                  obscure, hierarchical,
    unpredictable                   over-simplified
                                   Policies, Disciplines and
                                    Actors are isolated
                                Policies      Health       R&D           Social

    mining and simulation www.padgets.eu

   ENGAGE: Open, Linked Governmental Data for
    scientists and citizens www.engage-project.eu

   NOMAD: Non-moderated opinion mining (the
    opinion web) www.nomad-project.eu

   CROSSOVER: New horizons in ICT-enabled
    governance www.crossover-project.eu
   We need a totally different set of tools for evidence-
    based decision making by governments
   Societal Simulation, Data and Opinion Mining,
    New Services Co-creation, will be the next “big
    things” for governments that wish to make a
    difference
   We need to go beyond pure ICT approaches and
    embark in a multi-disciplinary journey. That’s
    why we need a science base for ICT-enabled
    Governance
   But most importantly …
eGovernance Research is about our
        children’s future:
It is not enough to “do the things right”
 … we have to “do the right things”
