The European Conference on e-Government (ECEG) has become, over the years, the premier place for critically discussing the latest research in matters of electronic government and electronic governance more generally.

Even though less than 40 years old, EPFL is now, as you may know, ranked among the world’s top 30 Universities, leading, among others, in the areas of information and communications. You may also already know EPFL for its global executive master in electronic governance (e-gov). It is a research heavy institution with approximately 6500 students and 20% of them pursuing a PhD.

EPFL also has a very nice campus located just outside of Lausanne on lake Geneva with a magnificent view on the Swiss and French alps. Participants to our conference may want to add a day or two for tourism. Lausanne is connected to Geneva airport by a short train ride of 40 minutes, and Geneva airport is one of Europe’s most prominent low cost destinations.
