In the dissemination of information and communication with state authorities and other stakeholders, the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is also essential. However, the availability and usage of those technologies differ among the EU macro-regions. This article shows the foundations of adopting ICT technologies in European macro-regions. It reviews data on how many people do not use a computer and how much they use ICT to communicate with public authorities. The data used in the research covers the years between 2008 and 2021, with which we will try to determine if there are changes in this topic.</dc:description><dc:date>2026</dc:date><dc:date>2026-04-03 11:24:58</dc:date><dc:type>Neznano</dc:type><dc:identifier>28770</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>UDK: 316.4:330.341.1</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>DOI: 10.3726/b23640</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>COBISS_ID: 274084099</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>OceCobissID: 274074883</dc:identifier><dc:language>sl</dc:language><dc:coverage>Evropa; </dc:coverage></metadata>
