MOU between DGS and ICF — Joint Program at dg.o2017

Dylan Parker — Wed, 18 Jan 2017 18:25:43 +0000

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been signed between The Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) and The Digital Government Society (DGS) to hold a joint program and share activities for the 18th International Conference on Digital Government Research (dg.o 2017) & the ICF Summit 2017 on June 7, 2017.

The goal of the partnership is to bring the research and application communities together to share knowledge, allow each group to network at a deeper level and explore new partnerships to advance urban and rural innovation. Based on this agreement, both parties intend to make best efforts to continue their long term partnership with a shared goal of bridging the gap between research and practice through interdisciplinary, multi-sector interactions, communications and innovations.

The Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) is a global network of cities and regions with a think tank at its center. Its mission is to help communities use information and communications technology (ICT) to create inclusive prosperity, tackle social and governance challenges and enrich their quality of life. Each year, the leaders of Intelligent Communities gather with their partners in technology, education, business, economic development, healthcare and other sectors at the ICF Summit. The ICF Summit 2017 is planned in June 6-8 in NY City, overlapping with the DGS’s annual conference on Digital Government Research (dg.o) to be held in CUNY College of Staten Island in June 7-9.

The joint program for the day (June 7, 2017) will take place at the dg.o venue, the City University of New York (CUNY) Campus in Staten Island, New York. We expect over 100 ICF summit delegates (mostly government officials) and over 100 dg.o conference participants (mostly researchers) to conduct a series of workshops, speeches, panel sessions and joint programming events. The goal is to seek a mixture of events and formats to give both groups exposure to the other’s content and expertise. The evening reception for the world’s Top7 Intelligent Communities of 2017 will be hosted by ICF at a location in Manhattan. The dg.o 2017 participants are invited to attend the reception as part of the welcome reception for the conference.

Dear DGS members and colleagues:

We are happy to announce that the DGS Board has elected Dr. Adegboyega Ojo as our new secretary of the board for the remaining term of the DGS board, starting from Dec 4, 2016 to Dec 31, 2017.

We acknowledge Dr. Natalie Helbig for her contribution as the DGS Secretary during Jan-Nov, 2016. She has worked diligently and passionately for the DGS activities, functioning as a participant, a conference chair, a board member and the secretary of the board. We would like to thank Natalie sincerely for her dedicated services for many years for the advancement of the Society. We wish her success in her position at NY State Department of Health, and her continued involvement as a DGS member.

Adegboyega Ojo (PhD) is Senior Research Fellow and E-Government Unit Leader at Insight Centre for Data Analytics, National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG). His expertise covers Open data strategies and infrastructures, Open data intensive public services, E-Government Services and e-Participation infrastructure and Governance of Smart Cities. He is currently Principal Investigator on three EU Horizon 2020 projects in the area of Open data platforms and co-creation of data-driven public services. He regularly advises the e-Government Branch of United Nations Economic and Social Affairs/Division for Public Administration and Development Management on policies for the data-driven integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG2030).

He led the development of National IT Strategies for countries in Asia and Africa while at the United Nations University. He has served in several international conferences as Program and Track Chairs. Adegboyega has over the years supported the participation of e-government scholars and practitioners from Africa in major international e-government conferences. His vision for the DGS is to establish a robust regional chapter of the Society in Africa.

He has been contributing to the DGS in many fronts, including the recent responsibility to lead the Communications Committee which publishes a quarterly DGS newsletter.

We hope you join us welcoming Dr. Ojo to the DGS Board who brings his global experience and network to the DGS members.

Sincerely,
