The ‘SmartGov’ project will be the focus of a conference to be held at Utrecht, the Netherlands, from 13th to 16th June, 2016 involving practitioners, policy-makers and the ‘SmartGov’ project teams. The conference will provide a platform for scientific exchange of ideas and thoughts about the SmartGov project, and discuss ways of advancing the debate about smart governance from a general notion (that ICTs help to engage citizens) to a specific understanding of which approach to engage citizens with ICTs actually works for Smart urban governance. There will also be reflection on the experiences on the project process so far and learning points for the (empirical) research phase of the project.
