About the Event

The objective of the Seminar is to bring together relevant actors in a Technical-Academic dialogue about the digital modernization of the state and public administration in Chile. Mainly technical challenges and structural administrative barriers will be discussed, as well as the latest regulatory trends. The question that will inspire conversation and debate, is how the goal of having a public administration capable of harnessing the state of the art in information technology and communication (ICT) is to be achieved. We will also ask about the role of political and legal contexts in the formation of a “Digital Public Administration” which can meet the expectations of participation and interaction with citizens.
A first approach aims to point at the transformation of the political and legal structures, by virtue of the adoption of ICT technologies. For example, what are the conditions and implications of such figures as “one-stop-shop”, or the use of the “shaping function” of the public administration (gestaltende Verwaltung) to build capacity and innovate from within.
A second approach is devoted to “think” about technology from a future perspective, in order to discern trends and social needs that can be served by ICT.
The seminar will reflect on the connections and interdependencies of the two approaches, so as to serve as a basis of discussion for the development of academy and public policy.
The workshop will take place within a day, and will consist of brief presentations of current processes and cases of administrative modernization. For this, programs of expert institutions that are currently running have been chosen. These presentations will be followed by expert discussions. There will be a moderator, who will collect the main views and suggestions from the experts.
