1st project workshop-eParticipation at European level: current state and potential
The workshop is organised by the European eParticipation Study, a project funded by the European Commission. The major focus of the European eParticipation Study is eParticipation used by European level organisations, including the European Commission, European Parliament, Council of Europe, as well as trans-national civil society networks and other forums, political parties and interest groups.
The main issues to be covered in the workshop are:
- Initial views of the major factors shaping eParticipation across Europe, the main benefits of eParticipation at this level, and an overview of the state of play amongst the European level and other trans-national organisations in Europe;
- A framework for understanding and evaluating eParticipation initiatives and comparing good practice case studies in order to highlight what works and what does not work in eParticipation;
- A number of invited short case study vignettes and demonstrations designed to illustrate what is happening at European level today.
