The document summarizes a report on a research project called Links-up that investigates whether and how Web 2.0 technologies can support lifelong learning for socially excluded groups. The report analyzes 24 case studies of initiatives using Web 2.0 for inclusive learning. It finds that while Web 2.0 shows potential for inclusion, significant digital divides remain. The report provides recommendations to make future inclusion projects more effective by overcoming organizational resistance, meeting user needs, promoting open practices, using appropriate methods, driving participation, and ensuring sustainability.

The paper presentation at the International Conference on e-Democracy and Open Government, Krems, Austria, may 2014.
In Peter Parycek & Noella Edelmann (Eds.), CeDEM14: Proceedings of the International Conference for E-Democracy and Open Government (pp. 435-446). Krems: Edition Donau- Universität Krems
The document discusses the need for a conceptual framework to support the broad adoption and development of digital democracy or "e-democracy". It notes the urgency to implement information and communication technologies more widely in democratic processes given projected reductions in government workforces and budgets. However, developing high-quality e-democracy solutions is challenging. The authors propose a conceptual framework that maps democratic processes onto information processes to help stimulate faster and better quality development of e-democracy solutions. This framework would decompose democracy into functional steps like informing, deliberating, and decision-making.

This document discusses research into structurally adopting open data practices within governmental organizations in the Netherlands. It describes two research programs conducted with the Province of South Holland and Municipality of The Hague. The research explored international and national open data developments and lessons learned from key expert interviews. Some challenges to adopting open data included standardizing publication processes, changing collaborations, addressing legal issues, and ensuring accessibility and reliability of data. The conclusions call for centralized open data systems, stimulation of an open data culture through corporate policy, thinking in terms of technical infrastructures and automated data, and coordination through a central open data representative position.
During the third ICT-Café on April 17th we used this presentation on our stand with an overview of our activities within the Government of the Future research programma with the Municipality of The Hague.
Our presentation during the European Conference on E-Government of June 2011 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The full paper is published in the proceedings (2011, 399-405) and in the special issue on Technology Design for E‐Government: Issues and Implications of the International Journal of Information Communication Technologies and Human Development (2012, 4[1], 52-61).
The objective is the effective dissemination, exploitation and sustainability of the Links-up project objectives, outcomes and deliverables. It supports the research results by dissemination actions promoting cross-national and cross-sectoral collaboration. The dissemination, exploitation and sustainability building activities included the following measures:
•‘Public space’ on the online ‘Innovation Laboratory’ at www.links-up.eu with a large number of resources for policy, practice and research;
•Early information leaflet and two dedicated project flyer (i.e. the ‘brochure’);
•Three newsletters at key milestones in the project;
•Press releases in the participating partner countries e.g. on the validation experiments in the United Kingdom and Austria;
•Peer-reviewed articles and conference contributions e.g. for EduMedia 2010, GMW 2011, eChallanges e-2011 and for elearningeuropa.info;
•Four Learning Dialogues involving key stakeholders in the project in critically reviewing the project results as they developed;
•International and national ‘Events’ amongst them Plymouth e-Learning Conference (PeLC) 2010, EduMedia Conference 2010, Online Educa Berlin 2010, NEXT Regional Conferences 2010 and 2011, EDEN Annual Conferences 2010 and 2011 and the eChallenges e-2011 Conference;
•Final Conference showcasing eight initiatives in the field of ‘Web 2.0 for Social Inclusion’ and bringing together about 40 participants from 22 countries;
•Concluding Webinar, mainly for the representatives of the 24 case studies, five validation experiments and other stakeholders interested in the field;
•Various activities in social software sites and Web 2.0 applications such as FaceBook, SlideShare, YouTube, twitter etc.
This report summarised the Links-up events and related conference presentations throughout the life cycle of the project.
