Secure e-Governance (summer school)

This intensive interdisciplinary summer programme is for participants with different backgrounds offering interoperability between different domains such as policy, law, IT, security, business, design thinking and engineering. Estonia is one of the most advanced e-societies in the world- an incredible success story that grew out of a partnership between a forward-thinking government, a pro-active ICT sector and a switched-on, tech-savvy population. Estonia boasts the world’s leading IT infrastructure and e-services. The creation of different e-services as well as linking them to government databases and rising popularity among users has greatly influenced and given an enormous boost to the ICT sector in the country. As the business models and service ecosystems are shifting more into the networked world, both in the private and public sector, there is a strong need to understand the background of e-services from the idealization to realization. Hackathon at the end of the course offers students a very practical experience to test their acquired knowledge.
