Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses basically the major challenges for the public administration from the actual EU27 countries on the background of the transition towards a digital society to be implemented in the entire EU as a declared goal of the European Commission. We analyse both the current status of the development of the digital economy and society in EU27 countries and its previous evolution and also the challenges still to be overcome in the next period, focusing especially on the digitalisation process of public administration. The paper provides an in-depth overview regarding the necessity of adapting the public administration to the changes brought by the new ICT technologies in our contemporary lives, stressing also both the advantages and some of the disadvantages of the transition towards an electronic administration, explaining the challenges of this process and finally concluding on the solutions to be applied for achieving a better public administration.
