More about the project:

The goal of the project is to carry out research tied to the electronic public services offered by local administrations in Eurocities member countries.

“Benchlearning” is an educational method whereby, in order to realise better effects when compared with others, gaining better understanding and knowledge about its own business operation.

The main impulse to this project came as a result of a lack of general indicators that could be applied locally, since the majority of the studies carried out so far were nationally centred.

The long-term result of this project is aimed at raising the awareness of the European Commission and Member States about the key role that cities and local administration can play in the development of eGovenment, supporting standardisation and in aligning these processes.
