This section tells you where the project is today, what we have achieved, and what we are aiming towards in the coming years.  

Year 1 - 2006-7

Year 1  focussed on aligning the vision of the project with the core drivers of research into the European value-added of the conceptual and technical framework for eGovernment at scale, end-user engagement, and communication of the project with key stakeholder groups.

       - State of the art in interoperability and security
       - Developing the key specific and generic features of five case studies
       - Initial selection of two case studies with potential for generic applications
       - Presentations and technical publications, including invitations to major events hosted by the Austrian and German Presidency of the Council of the European Union 
       - User group activation

Year 2 - 2007-8

Year 2 harnesses the challenges and outcomes of Year 1 to address more practical issues, focussing mainly on the requirements of public authorities through user group consultation, good practice sharing, genericity of R4eGov case study software demonstrators,  and development of training and professional development toolkits.

       - Needs analysis and consultation with user groups
       - Development of software demonstrators informed by master case studies
       - Interaction with relevant EU projects
       - Input to EU and international policy making and good practice sharing (e.g., EC Green Paper on Consular Collaboration, epractice.eu, EPAN, OECD)
       - Development of proposed innovative professional development programme for European member states’ consular staff informed by R4eGov

Year 3 - 2008-9

The aims here are to deploy the results among a wide range of public adminstrations, to inform and consult with major organisations shaping policy, priorities and practice in European eGovernment interoperability so that R4eGov achieves sustainable and useable tools and templates which inform and shape interoperability and security at scale, with results which endure.

       - Stakeholder groups and Alliances developed to trial R4eGov software demonstrators
       - Proposed launch of new European professional development programme during French Presidency
       - Proposed collaboration with OECD on OECD Report on cross-border interoperability using R4eGov findings and recommendations
       - Special event to present findings of R4eGov at European level
       - Media and video presentations for impact and awareness building
       - Final Report on Sustainability and Impact of R4eGov
