New ICELE website & research is launched
Published: Tuesday 17th October 2006
Today the International Centre of Excellence for Local eDemocracy (ICELE) launched its new website www.icele.org. The website is the first stage in establishing the Centre as the first port of call for local authorities, for best practice advice and support, on everything to do with local e-democracy.ICELE has been in development since early this year. Its ambition is to help local authorities improve two-way engagement with communities by providing best practice advice, support and practical solutions, focusing on the use of technology. The aim of the centre is to capture, contribute and disseminate best practice advice on local e-democracy internationally, nationally and locally.
To make sure that ICELE meets the needs of local authorities, today also saw the launch of three pieces of online research. ICELE hopes the results of this research will help to shape the focus of the Centre as it moves forward.
Cllr Matthew Ellis, Chairman of ICELE, commented: "We'd like to encourage all local authority employees - from webmasters, to communicators, to regeneration teams, to those leading on democratic participation to take part in the research. Each survey only takes a few minutes to complete and by taking part we can make sure ICELE gives you what you need."
ICELE is supported by Lichfield District Council. For more information about ICELE contact the team.
