Frank Bannister, Trinity College

Research in e-government and e-democracy largely stays within the safe confines of self-imposed boundaries. There are good reasons why this is so and, between them, publishers and conference organisers have evolved structures and modi operandi designed to service long established academic advancement and promotion structures and reward systems. While this arrangement suits both sides, it has contributed to creating a risk averse research and publication culture that has resulted in a large corpus of well executed, sometimes important, but often not terribly interesting research. The field also suffers from a surfeit of delta papers, me-too papers, literature reviews, general surveys and sometimes a preference for rigor rather than relevance as opposed to radical ideas and debate. The whole system disincentivises engagement in controversy and/or blue-sky thinking. This talk will explore this phenomenon and suggest some ideas that may help the field become more lively and provocative – in the best sense of that word.

Anders Stridh, Swedish Tax agency

“How can an agency that takes people’s money be so popular and appreciated?” Much of the answer to that question lies in the process of change that the Swedish Tax Agency has carried out in recent decades. Through value management and determined work with attitudes, the Tax Agency has changed from a feared tax collector into a popular service agency trusted by the public.

Fredrik Heintz, Linköping University

Europe has taken a clear stand that we want AI, but we do not want just any AI. We want AI that we can trust. This talk will present the European approach to Trustworthy AI and give an overview of some of the major consequences and interesting research problems related to Trustworthy AI. The successful realization of Trustworthy AI will be paramount for addressing the major challenges we as a global society is facing. The talk is partly based on the ongoing work in the H2020 ICT-48 network TAILOR which has the goal of developing the scientific foundations for Trustworthy AI through integrating learning, optimisation and reasoning

Corvinus essentially educates the social and economic elite of the region. It strives to produce scientific results that are relevant for Hungary, Europe and the world and that promote our objectives. Founders of the university believe that only talent and ambition should count – social or financial status should not prevent anyone from studying. Therefore, the Corvinus Scholarship Programme is based on excellence and was created to ensure free-of-charge education for the best, most talented students. Corvinus stands for quality and opportunities, for state-of-the art and useful knowledge, for extensive social capital, for career opportunities, for life-long friendships and community.

Due to its unique natural and architectural factors it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe (most airlines operate direct flights to Budapest). Each year millions arrive to admire the Castle District of Buda, the Saint Stephen’s Basilica, the Parliament building, the Synagogue in Dohány Street and to indulge in one of the famous baths. The city has good public transport system, its liveable and close to nature, and no one would feel lost here. According to The Economist, Budapest has overtaken Prague and Moscow as the most liveable city in Eastern Europe based on health, environmental, cultural, educational and infrastructural factors.
