Some of the possible research questions are the following:
- What will the major issues be in an accelerated development of the eRegion in Central Europe in next 2-3 years?
- What are “win-win” concepts for closer connectivity between the regions in the EU that are built upon strategies of common development and collaboration?
- What can the Central European eRegion learn from the successful ICT-based region initiatives in Western Europe and elsewhere?
- Which eCollaboration applications may contribute the most to the development of the eRegion?
- Which types of inter-organizational system will require the most attention in the Central European eRegion?
- What will be the role of mobile communications in an eRegion? Is a mobile technology a way to setup the most suitable communication infrastructure for nearly all the people in a short time-period? How can the mobile technologies contribute to accelerated eRegion development? What are the most important mobile applications for an eRegion?
- What could be the major contributions of the universities in the eRegion?
- What can be the organizational structure of a cooperation model for universities and independent research labs cooperating with governments and businesses?
- Which emerging technologies may be the most relevant to the development of the eRegion?
- Does an eRegion need a Regional Portal, or a Portal of Portals?
- Which regions in Europe should the Central European eRegion start to eCollaborate with?
- Which role should/could the ALADIN-based Central European eRegion have (http://ALADIN-Net.eu)?
- How important to the eRegion development are a creation and cross-border cooperation of the Living Labs within the European Network of Living Labs (http://OpenLivingLabs.eu).
