Ad Hoc Group of Experts Meeting on E-Governance and Changes in
Administrative Structures and Processes
The Meeting, organized by the Division in conjunction with the
26th Congress of the International Institute of Administrative Science
held in July 2004 in Seoul, Korea, gathered together several eminent
experts – academics and practitioners – and representatives
of governments and partner organizations to discuss the networked
state in the context of ongoing e-government and public sector reform
initiatives. It served to identify major trends in, and a better
understanding of, the conceptual and practical aspects of structural
and process changes associated with the networked state and e-government
development; enhance the knowledge of UN staff, UN missions and
partner organizations on these important issues; and enrich the
ability of DPADM to better serve the Member States in this area
of e-government and the knowledge society.
