Dear Sir / Madam,

"Challenge of eCitizen - Promoting eGovernment Actions in European Cities", a project financed by the EU's INTERREG IIIC North programme, ended in December 2007. eCitizen's concrete results and the strong will of the project partners to continue the well-established cooperation have encouraged to start planning a new phase in interregional collaboration on eGovernment actions.

To support the discussion on the project content, an expert lecture on social media and the challenges it poses for the public sector is included in the programme.
