EU-Project CIDRE goes into the 2nd phase - CIDRE is based on the Berlin project “Mobile Citizen Services” (MoBüD), which aimed at bringing the services of the public authorities closer to the citizens by using mobile equipment and wireless networks.
In the context of the EU-project with a basis of country-specific analyses of the legal and organizational conditions field trials were already carried out in the Swedish regions Örnsköldsvik and Ragunda, in the Estonian cities Tartu and Rakvere and in the Dutch region Aa en Hunze.
The first evaluations were focused on the usability and ease of use of the mobile citizen services. Thereby they not only give information about information and support services beeing especially appropriate for mobile offer, but also face a high acceptance by citizens and civil servants.
As well the press in the different test regions embraces the trial of bringing services of the authorities closer to the citizens.
