Digital Government has entered a transformational phase. Advances in technologies, the unprecedented availability of government data, the development of policy frameworks, and global economic crises have created opportunities to rethink how we govern; how citizens engage with governments; how governments and citizens develop policies and implement solutions that effect change in their communities, and how governments and businesses collaborate to create new economies. From Smart Cities to global issues regarding health, the environment, and education, to name a few, digital government has never been more exciting and vibrant than now.

Marking its 14th year, the 2013 International Conference on Digital Government Research (dg.o 2013) will take place at Laval University in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. This year, the conference program will focus on research and practice related to the adoption of smart technologies by governments, citizens as well as private and non-profit organizations.
