To understand how Web standards can make interactions between governments and citizens more efficient, accountable, and secure, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is holding a European Symposium on eGovernment on 1-2 February 2007 in Gijรณn, Asturias, Spain. Participants will discuss issues that governments and citizens currently face in their use of Web technology. The Symposium may lead to suggestions for improvements in W3C specifications or further W3C energies devoted to eGovernment initiatives.
The Symposium is organized by the W3C Spain Office and Fundacion CTIC, and receives support from the Principality of Asturias Government. Attendance is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
