Panel outline:
     eRegion is a cross-border region of the neighboring countries in which eTechnologies (Information and Communications Technologies – ICT) are extensively used in business processes. The borderless nature of eTechnologies allows and calls for new approaches to efficient and effective cross-border eCollaboration between the organizations within a specific macro region, and between regions themselves. Of particular interest is the interoperability of the eRegions on the New eAmber and New eSilk Roads (Baltic, Danube, Adriatic-Ionian, Alpine), including the cooperation of sixteen Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC) with China.
     The panel will investigate how diverse organizations in the eRegions could be involved, as well as how they could strengthen and further develop their relations, create synergy opportunities and identify challenges ahead.

Panel Outline:
The panel members are leaders with experience in their respective areas.  The panel will examine the role of the Municipality, regional Chamber of Commerce, the regional Development Centre, and the possibility of a university. More specifically, the questions that the members will  discuss are:  Which projects to date have connected these institutions? Who should take on the coordinating role of joint projects among actors in a region, eRegion, and across-borders? What concrete steps need to be taken to increase the competitiveness of the region in terms of increasing the international profile of the municipality as a whole? Can international competitiveness and enhanced international (e)collaboration be risen by focusing on being a knowledge society and attracting specific profiles?

Presentation: eregions-con-crossborder-associations-balkan

Panel outline:
   The panel is dedicated to the role the civil sphere can play in the enhancement of cross-border cooperation. It is evident that in parallel with the development of institutionalised forms of cooperation, its more informal ways managed by the civil sector actors get less and less importance. How can associations, NGOs and ordinary people contribute to the success of transboundary activities? How can they strengthen citizens’ commitment to openness towards their neighbours? How can they (re-)animate de-bordering activities in a more and more bordered world? And how can e-solutions facilitate their work?
     Methods, solutions, experiences are expected to be exchanged by the participants of the panel and new joint project proposals are welcomed.

Panel outline:
The Internet facilitates a level of interoperability that generates considerable innovation and opportunity. Yet threats to governments, businesses, and individuals who use the Internet are increasing exponentially. This panel will address risks in order to examine public sector action and capacity with respect to the multidimensional challenge of cyber-security. Our objectives are threefold: to gain a fuller appreciation of the interplay of political, technological, organizational, and social dimensions of cyber-security; to understand how this interplay is further shaped by clashing values and perceptions of risk; and to offer some prescriptive insight into the sorts of roles for government most likely to maximize systemic resilience and learning in an increasingly interdependent and virtual environment. Governments, the private sector, and civil society must engage in more shared responsibilities and collective learning in what is a highly fragile and dynamic cyberspace.

Panel outline:
Education can be considered a paper intensive, document and process driven environment. Streamlining mission-critical business processes in education such as admissions, registration, human resources, accounting, and teacher interactions in various school bodies through digitalization can thus be extremely beneficial to the bottom-line and staff satisfaction. The goal of this panel is to address three main aspects of streamlining through implementation of a customized Document Management System:
– content consolidation through fast and easy content acquisition, indexing, long-term archival and assurance of immediate access to documentation,
– cost reduction through removal of paperwork process challenges with the final goal of  the elimination of filing cabinets in overcrowded storage rooms/offices,
– operation streamlining through replacement of paper-based processes with electronic files and automating back-office administrative activities including full legal compliance (digital signatures, etc.).
