The aim of this paper is to introduce the mini-track on Electronic Government Education organized as part of the Electronic Government Track at the 47th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-47). Successful execution of Electronic Government (EGOV) initiatives requires collaboration from a variety of stakeholders, each playing a certain role and bringing their experience and knowledge to fulfill this role. However, such stakeholders must have a common understanding of the transformative role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in government, in interactions between government, citizens and other non-state actors, and in the society as a whole. To develop such understanding, many governments are undertaking concrete efforts to train and educate civil servants on ICT- and EGOV-related issues. The mini-track provides a forum where academics, practitioners and educators present and discuss their insights and experiences in building EGOV human capacity.
