ePractice.eu - EU Professional Community

“ePractice.eu is a portal created by the European Commission which offers a new service for the professional community of eGovernment, eInclusion and eHealth practitioners.
It is an interactive initiative that empowers its users to discuss and influence open government, policy-making and the way in which public administrations operate and deliver services.
ePractice.eu involves practitioners from all 27 Member States, EU-member candidate states and EFTA countries. Practitioners from other countries outside the EU are also welcome to join.
The ePractice.eu portal combines online activities with frequent offline exchanges: workshops, face-to-face meetings and public presentations. With a large knowledge base of real-life case studies submitted by ePractice members from across Europe, ePractice.eu serves as a point of reference for all users.
ePractice.eu is based on the inherently participative nature of web services: it goes beyond the “exchange cases” and facilitates the exchange of advice, experiences, events and stories.”

ePractice.eu has an attractive interface, the dark blue background and gold accents give the site a striking look. The site is easy to navigate and well organized. The glossary and country facts are useful tools. ePractice.eu has many different sections that feature easy to access information. Rating and commenting on cases is a good way for community members to communicate and get involved in the site.

ePractice.eu is a European community it should be available in other languages besides English. Each week a different case should be featured so that the members can critique it and learn from each other’s advice.
