DEMO-net Objective
  • To strengthen scientific, technological social
    research excellence in eParticipation
  • To achieve a lasting integration of currently
    fragmented research in eParticipation
  • To stimulate joint research in DEMO-net's agreed
    research areas
  • To disseminate DEMO-net research amongst
    eParticipation stakeholders
  • To provide a barometer of research effectiveness
    for eParticipation in Europe by establishing a
    corpus of lessons-learnt resource to show what
    kind of projects have delivered what kind of
    results and thereby considered effective for
    eParticipation.

6
Objectives will be achieved by
  • Co-ordinate integrate research activities
    clustered around the research objectives
  • Analyse existing eParticipation research across
    Europe
  • Mobilise relationships among all stakeholders
  • Achieve co-operation between government
    academia to improve quality of research
    understanding
  • Provide technology platform for discussion,
    co-operation data exchange
  • Disseminate research outcomes for the benefit of
    researchers, government citizens
  • Ensure growth and sustainability

7
Research Objectives
  • Establish a corpus of material of empirically
    based research and policy documents related to
    eParticipation
  • Research knowledge architectures to support
    access to corpus
  • Research interfaces to support evidence-based
    decision-making
  • Investigate barriers to eParticipation across
    Europe
  • Research discourse analysis techniques to explore
    agenda setting, and alliance building at
    different levels.
  • Map of current emergent eParticipation
  • technological infrastructures
  • eParticipation methods.
  • Establish criteria for evaluation of future
    eParticipation initiatives in a systematic
    standardised way
  • Harmonise align concepts, terminology methods
  • from academic disciplines.
  • from the various non-academic stakeholders, eg
    European, national, regional and local
    governments

8
Integration Strategy - 1
  • Integration Plan
  • Investigation of integration challenges and how
    to overcome them
  • Setting up European eParticipation virtual
    research centre
  • Exchange of researchers between institutions
  • Placement of researchers in regions
  • Focused workshops
  • PhD student seminars
  • Students exchange programs
  • Students field studies

9
Integration Strategy - 2
  • Joint Research Programme
  • Gap analysis and roadmap
  • Knowledge and collaboration platform
  • Application and use
  • Large scale discourse analysis
  • eParticipation tools and methods
  • Management of diverse information and knowledge
  • Virtual Communities
  • Large scale public participation
  • How and what to evaluate
  • Emerging standards and business models
  • Transferability of concepts, methods, standards,
    tools etc

10
Integration Strategy - 3
  • Spreading of Excellence Plan
  • Planning
  • Requirements of supporting Technical
    Infrastructure
  • Training Activities
  • Dissemination and Promotion activities
  • Consortium Management

11
DEMO-net partner relationships
Eg the EU-NSF networking at eGov
12
DEMO-net will deliver
  • Virtual centre of excellence in eParticipation
    research which will ensure
  • Research community that advances IST applicable
    to eParticipation an environment that
    encourages collaboration
  • Sustainable eParticipation research community
  • Significant contribution to PhD development
  • Critical exposure of researchers to pressing
    democratic problems
  • Significant input to government policy
    development for citizen engagement both in
    individual EU countries and the EU as a whole

13
Overall aims
  • The DEMO-net project aims to
  • to promote and develop technological and
    socio-technical excellence in the emerging field
    of e-Participation.
  • build on the experience accumulated by leading
    European research organisations that have studied
    the underlying principles of e-Participation and
    actively worked with governments across Europe in
    applying and evaluating e-Participation

14
Work Packages
15
WP1 Integration Strategy
  • Collects barriers and challenges from WP2-6
  • Legal, institutional, cultural, linguistic,
    professional, infrastructural and financial
  • Will develop a coherent integration framework
    which address 3 dimensions of integration
  • Research among disciplines
  • Research and application
  • Geographical dispersement

16
WP2 Educational and student exchange
  • Develop educational and support structures for
    research students in eParticipation
  • Ensure a common body of research knowledge in
    eParticipation
  • Puts in place funding mechanisms for
  • cross fertilisation of ideas
  • development of connections with regional
    innovation programmes
  • Identification of emerging research agendas

17
WP3 Research exchange programme
  • Promotes cooperation between technical and
    socio-technical researchers, government
    specialists and industry specialists
  • Aims to
  • create cross-disciplinary teams working on
    research and innovation projects
  • develop funding opportunities for new projects
  • stimulate wide discussion and dissemination of
    research results to develop and stabilise expert
    networks

18
WP4 Setting challenges
  • Identify and respond to developing global
    research and innovation challenges in
    eParticipation
  • Analyse the European eParticipation research
    landscape, comparing it with international
    developments
  • Develop research agenda and roadmaps to govern
    future direction and future of network
  • Put together research teams and thematic networks
    to respond to evolving challenges

19
WP5 Joined eParticipation technical research
  • Understand existing tools and technologies used
    for eParticipation
  • Analyse the technical challenges of
    eParticipation
  • Develop standards and ontologies for information
    structuring
  • Utilise methods of Knowledge Management for large
    scale eParticipation

20
WP6 Joined eParticipation socio-technical
research
  • Develop the theoretical basis for
    cross-disciplinary socio-technical research in
    eParticipation to introduce and implement
    eParticipation in different application areas
  • - Establish ways to support internal relevance
    (quality of online discourse) and external
    relevance (way eParticipation outcomes are used
    by political actors)
  • Support socio-technical theoretical basis of
    technical solutions and their implementation

21
WP7 Establishing information infrastructure for
the NoE programme
  • Gather fragmented research and best practice in
    eParticipation
  • Provide an infrastructure for management of the
    network
  • Design and construct a suitable collaborative and
    knowledge platform
  • Develop a business model for the sustainability
    of the information feeding from within and
    outside the network partners

22
WP8 Dissemination
  • Disseminate and demonstrate the projects results
  • Inform eParticipation stakeholders in Europe
    about DEMO-net and possibilities for cooperation
  • Prepare relevant training material
