چکیده
The decision of the German Parliament to relocate the seat of Parliament and Government from Bonn to Berlin is a major challenge and opportunity for information and communication technology.

It discusses trends and prospects for support through new information and communication technologies and also introduces the POLIKOM research program by which the German government wishes to contribute to resolving the problems.
