Short description of the project:

ENDE focus on E-governance and Digital transformation in the European Union. It is a network including prestigious experts on digital transformation holding Jean Monnet actions on digital aspects (Module, Chair or Center of Excellence). At a historical period of renovation in the paradigm of society, E-Governance and digitalization have seen their implementation accelerated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, understanding, suggesting adequate implementation and promoting such a change in the model of civilization is a priority as scientific target of the network. The main working areas are related to the practical implementation of E-governance in the European Union, including areas as politics, economy, law, international relations and social aspects. The objective is understanding and foreseeing the fast development on the digital agenda that can change completely the perception of the European Union, its influence over the citizen lives and the external scope of the organisation.
