     The World e-Parliament Conference is the biennial  forum of the community of parliaments on their use of information and  communication technologies (ICT). It addresses, from both the policy and  technical perspectives, how ICT can help improve representation, law-making and  oversight and increase parliament’s openness, accessibility, accountability and  effectiveness. 
    The overarching theme of the Word e-Parliament Conference 2014 is  “Lessons learned and future horizons”. By focusing on this theme, the sixth  World e-Parliament Conference intends to take stock of the progress made by the  parliamentary community in responding to citizens’ calls for greater  institutional openness and dialogue. At the same time, it will look at the  emerging and future challenges that parliaments will need to address to keep  pace with technological change in society.  |
