Public Governance Series

In Memoriam of Miriam Lips

Diogo Pereira,

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Miriam Lips at the end of August 2024.

Professor Miriam Lips was a well-known expert in the field of digital/e-Government, and she contributed to the development of the field in many ways.

Throughout her career, Miriam made several important contributions to the international community of e-government scholars. Back in 1996, shortly after completing her doctorate, Miriam became involved with the European Group for Public Administration (EGPA) Permanent Study Group on informatisation, at that time led by Prof. Wim van de Donk and John Taylor. In 2001, at the EGPA conference in Vaasa, Finland, Wim stepped down to take up other duties, and Miriam joined John Taylor as co-chair of what would eventually become the permanent study group on e-government. It was an appropriate transition, as she contributed for more than 10 years to EGPA as co-chair.

Our condolences go to her family, colleagues, and friends at the Victoria University of Wellington (VUW), New Zealand. In New Zealand, Miriam showed the same dedication to her work as she did in the international community.
