About
The Norwegian government seeks to improve the coordination of digitalization efforts across sectors and levels of administration. Digital services should function seamlessly across the public sector, simplifying everyday life for citizens, businesses, and voluntary organizations. However, increased collaboration also brings challenges and raises several questions, such as:
What is needed to enhance cooperation on digitalization initiatives?
Who should be responsible for developing digital solutions?
How should the costs and benefits of digitalization measures be distributed?
Should municipalities have full autonomy to determine which digital solutions to adopt?
The seminar will have contributions from a diverse range of experts from academia, the private sector, and public institutions. Our invited speakers include representatives from KS, PA Consulting, Lillestrøm Municipality, Asker Municipality, IPSOS and Føyen Law Firm. On the second day, a scenario workshop and interactive group exploration of the theme are scheduled.
The event is a joint event with the Research Centre for Digitalisation of Public Services and Citizenship (CEDIC) at OsloMet. CEDIC is the host for the DIGIT research school. The lectures and panel debate are open to both DIGIT members and others.
