ABSTRACT
Societal aging poses a major challenge for E-Government (research). The paper presents the results of a Delphi study with 12 senior E-Government researchers on the question of what potentially useful measures could E-Government research undertake in order to provide fundamental theories, models, and concepts for coping with the challenges related to societal aging?
