CEEE|Gov Days 2024

Topic: eAgriculture

Submission Deadline: March 31, 2024

This year we decided that that it was time to address IT applications in agriculture, an oft-forgotten, yet crucial part in present-day farming. We would identify two main areas: 

• The usage of eGov services in agriculture to ensure compliance with government (EU) grant schemes, sustainability goals and food security. 
• The usage of IT in promoting a more resource-efficient and healthy agriculture, such as Smart Farming to, for instance, minimize the usage of pesticides or Precision Farming to precisely adapt farming methods to real-time needs. This also includes highly computerized farming concepts, such as urban farming. 

The conference addresses public sector practitioners and policy makers, industry professionals and academia alike. The disciplines covered are primarily information sciences, law and administrative science, political science, sociology and economics. Theoretical and empirical contributions are equally welcome. We especially encourage submissions addressing the European Union in general, the Danube Region, the Balkans and Eastern Europe. Beyond the general theme, papers are solicited in all areas of applying ICT to the Public Sector. The conference will particularly focus on, but not limit itself to, the following topics:

• Electronic Administration services both back office and in communication with the citizen,
• Identity management for individuals, 
• Privacy and data protection (including Cyber Security),
• eDemocracy on all levels, 
• The role of the internet in revolutions and in transition processes,
• Transparency and anti-corruption,
• eTools to help establish a European public space,
• Open Data,
• Public transport and public organization of mobility
• Legal aspects of eGovernment and eDemocracy, 
• Economic and social impact of eGovernment and eDemocracy, 
• Enabling the Digital Single Market

Publication Ethics

We follow the COPE Code of Conduct for Journal Editors, wherever applicable to conference publications to ensure the hightest standards of publication ethics and avoidance of malpractice. For details of the Code of Conduct, see this flowchart.

Guidelines for Reviews

1. Reviews are to ensure the pertinence and scientific quality of the proceedings volume and the conference presentations; they evaluate the importance, originality and clarity of the paper, the validity of the methods used and the paper’s relevance to the conference.
2. Reviews are managed by one member of the organising committee (currently Prof. Müller-Török, HVF Ludwigsburg, Mueller-Toeroek at hs-ludwigsburg.de); the pool of reviewers are the members of the programme committee. Reviewers are selected according to the topics and fields within the scope of the conference and the general principle to spread the work load evenly among programme committee members. The committee covers the scope of the conference in its broadest sense and ensures availability of suitable reviewers for virtually any topic within scope.
3. All reviews are double-blind, at least two reviews are collected per submission. A paper is accepted (possibly with rework), if both reviews are positive. If the two initial reviews disagree, a third – decisive – review from another programme committee member is requested.
4. Reviewers are expected to indicate to the review management, if there are conflicts of interest or other factors that may impair the relevance of the review immediately (eg, they recognize author or work, they do not feel competent in the field, etc.); they are also requested to indicate cases, where duplicate submissions and plagiarism are suspected. Review management follows the relevant procedures here.
5. Reviews are expected to be pertinent and substantiate the decision to accept/accept with rework/reject a submission. They should provide hints to authors how to improve the quality of the paper; libellous or offensive criticism is not acceptable.
6. Reviewers are kindly requested to produce their reviews in a timely manner in line with the published schedule of the conference; reviewers who decline their reviews without substantial reason or simply do not deliver are discontinued as programme committee members.
7. Should the author/s of a submission feel that the procedures and principles of this guideline have been violated, the author/s can appeal from the initial decision to the review appeals board (currently consisting of Prof. Gergely Deli, Ludovika University of Public Service, Budapest, Prof. András Nemeslaki, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, and Prof. Alexander Prosser, WU Vienna). This board will review the decision, is entitled to request additional reviews if necessary and make a final decision on the submission.

For organizational reasons, we share data collected on the registration site of this website with the organizing partners in Hungay: 

• National University of Public Service (henceforth: NKE)
• Budapest University of Technology and Economics (henceforth: BME)

Information on data protection concerning images (fotos and video)

Photos are taken by the organiser OCG, NKE and BME at the Central and Eastern European e|Dem and e|Gov Days.

Aim of the recording of the data (the photoshoot) is the advertising of the event to a wider audience, to the colleagues not personally present and to a professional audience, also to advertise the event on its Twitter page and by other available means of media.

Most of the photos are „mass photoshoots”, where individuals are not, or very hardly recognisable, on the other hand occasionally close-up photos may also be taken. Basis for handling the data is the consent based on GDPR Art 6. Clause (1), based on Hungarian Civil Code Art 2:48.

Those participants who do not wish close up photos to be taken of them, can indicate such wish at the beginning of the event, by the registration. They are asked to take their seats in the „no photo” zone. Should such a photo still be made at the event, such will either be deleted, or the person depersonalised, at latest during the afterworks.

Handling the data is based on consent and it is done until such content is withdrawn, nevertheless such paper based and other media appearences, that were created based on the consent given, can later not be deleted. Data is not forwarded to third countries.

You can withdraw consent at any time by way of addressing an e-mail to one of the contact persons, but it is not possible to modify the list of participants, so your data will be processed further under the legitimate interest of OCG, NKE and BME together with other financial documentation of the event.

In compliance with GDRP, you have the right to request access to and rectification or erasure of your personal data or restriction of processing the data or to object to processing as well as the right to data portability. Simply address OCG through an e-mail to datenschutz@ocg.at.
