The Amsterdam Declaration platform

Tech4i2 (in cooperation with Ton Zijstra and James Burke) invited by the World Congress on IT organisers has designed and deployed a platform to support and dynamise the Amsterdam Declaration which calls on all stakeholders to deliver the ambitious goals of enhancing economic growth, reducing greenhouse gases, promoting quality of life and consumer confidence, and ensuring that these benefits reach a global impact.

Let’s make it happen website launches an open collaboration with all stakeholders. It enables everyone to comment on the Declaration text (using commentpress) and add inspiring projects that aim at achieving the Declaration goals. These projects are visualised on a dynamic Google Map.

Tech4i2 works on the Crossroad project

Tech4i2 along with project partners: National Technical University of Athens- coordinator (GR); European Projects & Management Agency CZ; University Koblenz-Landau (DE) and EC DG Joint Research Centre – Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (ES) work together on delivering a roadmap for ICT research in the field of governance and policy modelling.

That research  will be supported by the contribution of the results deriving from other FP7 projects in the area of eGovernment and Policy Making.

The project aim is to drive the identification of emerging technologies, new governance models and novel application scenarios in the area of participation, electronic governance and policy modelling, leading to the structuring of a beyond the state-of-the-art research agenda, fully embraced by research and practice communities.
