On 25 September 2012 the COMPATeGov project consortium presented the project results at the European Workshop „eGovernment Competences“ in Berlin. Among the more than 30 participants were employees and managers from local and state authorities, professors from a number of different universities, and project partners.

COMPAT.eGov.de pursues the following objectives:

• Identify and analyse e-government competency standards for public servants.
• Choose, transfer, analyse and adapt innovative training contents to e-government services which were already developed for SMEs and can be used for public management to support the lifelong learning of public servants.
• Transfer, adaptat and use the authoritative model for the competency modelling and competency assessment of the target group, based on the identified needs and demands.

The question of changing and newly arising e-government competency requirements for public servants is at the center of the "COMPAT.eGov.de - Competency Assessment and Training for the Uptake of eGovernment Services by Public Authorities" project.

New forms of networked inter-organisational cooperation are arising, shared service centres are being set up, one-stop front offices with networked back office-structures are being established. This changing working environment requires different and new skills and competences for public servants. We want to figure out which skills and competences are relevant in the context of e-Government.
