Background
At the beginning of the i-COIN project and even before, the question came up, how this project can be useful. In general the I-COIN project deals with a subject area that is currently widespread all over Europe: e-Government. Especially for the public sector there is a focus in attention for  prospective action.
Consequently was and is this subject area interesting also for Municipality of Rehna as part of the puplic sector. So it was relevant what can be done in support of an electronic administration (e-Government) in the region of the Municipality of Rehna.
 
As the project term "i-COIN > interregional, communication and information network" says, it is about communication and information. More precisely it is about communication with citizens and other groups and the information of and by citizens or other groups in dialogue with the public administration. Modern IT (information technology) plays an important role here.
 
That was the link where it seemed to be reasonable for the Municipality of Rehna to participate in this project, since the topic is in focus for constant improvements anyway.
 
Because of the fact, that the project proceeded in an european context, it was possible to deepen the "European Idea." The partners had the possibility to look how the other, european neighbours handle their things, where we maybe get new impulses.
