1. 1st WeGov Workshop within eChallenges e-2011, in October 2011
WeGov is happy to announce the 1st public WeGov Workshop within the
eChallenges e-2011 conference, on the 26th – 28th October, 2011 in Florence, Italy.
The Workshop aims to demonstrate the WeGov toolkit prototype to a panel of
experts and stakeholders in the field. A panel will present on the implications of this
tool-kit for policy makers and citizens alike, within the context of social media. Round
table as well as open discussions on use case applications that have been
developed within the project, are scheduled in order to gather participants and
attendees feedback.
The workshop is the first within the project that opens up project results in an
iterative manner to a wider community of interest. For this reason we are pleased to
invite you to participate in this event and to add your voice to the many already
shaping WeGov outcomes. Come be a part of an exciting innovative project where
we can shape how policy and social media worlds interact!
