Supported by the Commission European eParticipation study, this community is open for all practitioners, policy-makers, politicians, administrators, researchers and consultants concerned with how ICT can be used effectively to promote democracy and participation across <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Europe. Non-European participants are also warmly invited.

 

The community is an open platform for meeting and sharing experiences and knowledge, as well as for asking and providing support.
