PIONEER - ERASMUS Mundus Master "Public Sector Innovation and eGovernance"

The four-semester European masters program, called PIONEER, developed by the University of Muenster together with KU Leuven and Tallinn University of Technology, focuses on the interdisciplinary know-how needed in the public sector to fully exploit the potential of information and communication technologies (ICT) and technological innovation. PIONEER (1) addresses the needs of public administrations and identifies the potential benefits of ICT for the future development of public administrations and their service provision; (2) closes a gap in current higher education landscape; and (3) creates an innovative offer in terms of the required interdisciplinary skills in the public sector. PIONEER is co-financed by the ERASMUS + Program of the European Union.

Gender Equality Plans for Information Sciences and Technology Research Institutions

EQUAL-IST aims at introducing structural changes to enhance gender equality within Information Systems and Technology Research institutions, which have been demonstrated to be among the research sectors most affected by gender inequalities at all levels.

Propelling Business Process Management by Research and Innovation Staff Exchange

RISE_BPM networks world-leading research institutions and corporate innovators to develop new horizons for Business Process Management (BPM). BPM is a boundary-spanning discipline focused on division and re-integration of day-to-day work in organisations and on analysis of process data for organisational decision-making. Recent break-through innovations in Social Computing, Smart Devices, Real-Time Computing, and Big Data Technology create a strong impetus for propelling BPM into a pervasive corporate topic that enables design of entirely new products and services.

Digitization Competencies of Managers in the Public Sector

Online Learning Modules for Business Process Management (BPM) Advanced Higher Education

Business Process Management (BPM) has evolved into an important topic at universities in Europe and abroad, and it has become an important part of modern management education both at the bachelor and master levels. At the same time, however, many practitioners are nowadays confronted with challenges related to BPM, even though BPM has not been part of their primary and secondary education. In addition, a technology-driven field such as BPM is subject to the rapid changes and innovations in information technology; so even managers who have graduated only recently have a permanent demand to update their knowledge and skillson a continuous, life-long basis. .Therefore, the goal of the BPM_Online project is to establish executive BPM education throughout Europe within a network of leading BPM research institutions.

Government as a Service (GaaS) in Germany - Concepts and Challenges

"Government as a Service" - the underlying idea of this concept is that procedures and processes for recurring services are standardized and reused by the administrations and their public IT service providers - as a service - in the provision of services. The goal is the seamless, consistently digitized service provision. The resulting concept describes the status quo and summarizes the challenges.

Creation of manuals for the target-oriented preparation of the study "E-Government-Competence"

The aim of this project was to prepare the results of the e-Competence study in a focused and targeted manner for a better communication to the respective target groups. The results will be practicioner-oriented manuals. 19 identified reference roles can help to structure the competence requirements of a public administration, to develop profiles for job advertisements or to generally prepare job profiles and to identify future needs. The guideline, on the other hand, helps to select appropriate forms of communication. The reference roles therefore can support the phases of recruiting and personnel development, while the route to selecting suitable didactical methods can support the stages of personnel development and, where appropriate, staff retention, the latter, for example, by allowing employees to specifically train them to gain competences for an advancement to acquire a better job.

eGovernment Competence

The project E-Government competence aims at identifying the future personnel requirements in the public sector and to develop teaching methods that help employees to better adjust to the changed environment and customer needs. Therefore, in a first step, today's and future roles incorporated by employees in the public sector are gathered on the basis of IT-supported administration processes. This should help to identify those (presumably) new competencies especially required when working in an "E-Government context". Then, competencies that are needed now and in the near future are derived from this analysis and suitable teaching methods are developed.
