Thirty presentations were given in nine sessions during the conference.
The speakers represented educational and governmental institutes as well as
private foundations from all over Europe. The diversity of submitted papers
can be seen based on the number of countries represented by the authors.
They came from 16 different countries.
The goal of the workshop was to reveal the present state of
e-governmental activities, the solutions of arising problems as well as the
trends-would-be. Nowadays there is high significance of knowledge
acquisition, utilisation and distribution. According to this, there is
wide-range opportunity to update and renew teaching methods exploiting the
advantage of information technology-provided facilities.
The materials can most effectively be distributed over the Internet to
the trainees and learning groups helping their preparation as well as
supporting each other during their learning. Thus the presentations of the
workshop covered the e-governmental activities in our profession, the roles
of knowledge centres, their maintenances, facilities, furthermore the
up-to-date educational methods including their technical backgrounds.
The three
days workshop was finished by the meeting of Commission 2. The
