Description (EN):

In fact, the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is continuously growing up in different spheres of the economic and social life. Both EU and Russia are paying strong attention to ICT development. One of the priorities of Russia is to introduce the large number of governmental services in electronic form. Good example is Federal Law 94, which regulates public procurement system, requiring the usage of ICT tools for dissemination the information, as well as electonic auctions, etc. Meanwhile, still most of governmental services are provided in traditional way. From European side, experience of Estonia and Latvia is clear demonstrating the advantages of eGovernance for the economy of these countries as well as huge satisfaction of the citizens from easy access services. The Project will be mainly focusing on setting up the efficient cooperation between professional bodies in order to transfer the experience on ICT tools for eGovernance services. The Project Overall Objective is to fostering the economic development in cooperating regions by better communication between the business and government by using modern ICT technologies. The Project specific objective is to set up the effective network of Demo Centres in cooperating regions in order to increase the usage of modern ICT technologies by governments of cooperating regions to serve businesses and citizens locally and in cross-border areas. The following concrete results will be reached: 1. Governmental bodies have clear understanding of the demand for their services in cross-border areas; 2. Governmental bodies are obtaining the tool for utilizing modern ICT solutions; 3. Number of governmental electronic services are developed and piloted. The Project team is formed from high professional group of companies operating in cooperation regions. Target groups are: 1) local authorities; 2) professional ICT companies and organisations; 3) associations and unions of entrepreneurs. The final beneficiaries are: 1) citizens of cooperating regions and other territories; 2) SMEs and larger companies and organisations; 3) local authorities of cooperating regions and other territories. Accounting that cooperation between EU and Russia is rapidly growing up, especially with Baltic countries, the Project will bring for final beneficiaries the new possibilities on obtaining the services electronically not only locally but in neighbouring countries in future. The companies and organisations are able to participate in public procurement in neighbouring countries already now, but more services shall be developed in the future. To reach above mentioned advantages, target groups shall cooperate in order to decrease the gap in design and development on most possible early stage. The ICT network will provide the necessary conditions for that.
