• As a professional training school, how does theENA deal with these challenges?

ENA’s Approach

Necessity to integrate this field in training today:• Be aware that too much information kills information• Be aware of that not all information can be published

(copyright, confidential documents)• Select the relevant information

Our curriculum includes:• Various conferences on digital issues such as challenges

of information systems and e-administration. A comparative study between and France and UK on e-administration is forecast

• 2 study cases per year: • the implementation of information systems• the use of NICT in relation to public users

Of course during the internship, students would also work on these various issues
