The Development of eServices in an Enlarged EU:eGovernment and eHealth in Cyprus
In 2005, IPTS launched a project which aimed to assess the developments in eGoverment,
eHealth and eLearning in the 10 New Member States at national, and at cross-country level. At
that time, the 10 New Member States were Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary,
Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, and Slovakia. A report for each country was produced,
describing its government and health systems and the role played by eGovernment and eHealth
within these systems. Each report then analyzes, on the basis of desk research and expert
interviews, the major achievements, shortcomings, drivers and barriers in the development of
eGovernment and eHealth in one of the countries in question. This analysis provides the basis
for the identification and discussion of national policy options to address the major challenges
and to suggest R&D issues relevant to the needs of each country, in this case, Cyprus.
In addition to national monographs, the project has delivered a synthesis report, which offers an
integrated view of the developments of each application domain in the New Member States.
Furthermore, a prospective report looking across and beyond the development of the
eGoverment, eHealth and eLearning areas has been developed to summarize policy challenges
and options for the development of eServices and the Information Society towards the goals of
Lisbon and i2010.
