Abstract: DIGILOG is an interdisciplinary research project between Computer and Political Science. The goal of the research project is to monitor and evaluate the digital transformation of the local governments of Europe. The project will generate coherent data for a systematic comparison using methodological triangulation, i.e., quantitative and qualitative methods. It will take the form of a regular and automated quantitative survey of all local authorities in 47 European countries (members of the Council of Europe), based on web crawling and machine learning techniques - this is a novel approach in the context of the social sciences - and qualitative research, namely case studies in selected European countries. Renowned scholars from the University of Potsdam, ZHAW, and the Vienna University of Economics and Business, with extensive experience in local government and comparative research, form the consortium of this project. Key project deliverables will be an openly accessible monitoring platform of digital transformation at the local tier of government, journal articles, an edited volume, and publications for practitioners. The real-time platform “Monitoring Digital Transformation in European Local Governments” will be accessible to researchers and practitioners worldwide and contribute to a better understanding of longterm developments. The duration of the project submitted to the SNSF/DFG is three years; however, by automating the process, the real-time platform will continue to exist and be updated regularly beyond this time frame. The research project will yield policy-relevant knowledge concerning local digitization measures from a European perspective, which can then be utilized to improve policymaking for future public sector modernization.
