Scope:
Digital transformation has been revolutionizing the way society in general and organizations in particular function, making itself felt, in particular, in the management of organizations and in the skills needed by professionals to carry out their functions.
In the public sector, in its different areas of activity (for example, local administration, health, education, tax authorities), digitalization, as well as other technologies, have been increasingly applied, as a way of reducing bureaucracy, increasing efficiency and effectiveness of services, but also as a way of bringing organizations closer to the population they serve. The Digital transformation in the public sector workshop aims to be a discussion forum where academic and professional communities can share and disseminate knowledge about:
- The implementation of digital transformation in public sector entities, considering compatibility with their ethical values, the rigor, transparency and accountability that are required of them.
- The use of technologies that enable modernization and the achievement of sustainable development objectives in Public Sector entities.
- Information technologies adopted by Public Sector entities for management and service provision purposes.
- Control processes that highlight the importance of digital innovation for the reliability of the provision of financial and non-financial information.
- Ways to innovate with digital technologies that can influence public sector services and management.

This information should only be made available in the final version of paper, upon acceptance for presentation and publication. Should the authors need to include one or more references to previous work, this should appear in the bibliography section as “Self Reference”, and be later replaced by the original reference, upon acceptance of the paper.
