On January 27th 2025, the ERA Chair and Professor of E-Governance Vincent Homburg had the pleasure of visiting the University of Erfurt’s Willy Brandt School of Public Policy for a series of meetings with the School’s managing director Lena Kiesewetter, prof dr Achim Kemmerling and dr Hosnan Bokhari.
Furthermore, Vincent Homburg gave a guest lecture in front of a very enthusiastic, international audience of students, as part of a Public Administration and Finance course in the Schools’ Master of Public Policy program. Topic of the guest lecture was the state-of-the-art in e-government research. During the lecture, and also in intensive discussions after class, students participated in intensive discussions on the the relevance of Estonian e-government experiences for administrative reforms in Germany, and for countries in the Global South. With the Willy Brandt School of Public Policy expanding its research and teaching in algorithmic governance and electoral technologies, most likely there will be ample opportunities for more intensive forms of collaboration between the Johan Skytte Institute and the Willy Brandt School of Public Policy.
