  3. Why this idea?Start of a “Preparatory” Action…. • Think of measuring results • What’s the starting point? • How to conduct in the good direction? • Need for a monitor, a dashboard • Determine the best practices A trial project to test an ICT-based tool to monitoring the decision-making process of eParticipation: a meta-project

  4. What to measure? • Participation • ICT • eParticipation

  5. Cyber Citizen 19% Passive Citizen 39% Pragmatic Citizen 42% What to benchmark? • The different levels of Participation, ICT adoption and eParticipation in the different member states? • Not to see who’s best but to see the differences and the difference in approach…

  6. How we measure? • Online survey citizens and politicians • Landscaping and qualitative approach of social middle-field organizations

  7. Research questions • What is the general view of representative and participative democracy in the member states? • Is there a need for participation? What are the current levels of participation in policy and what levels would people like to have? • To what extent can ICT drive e-democratic processes? What are the possibilities, restrictions and net effects? • …….

  8. Work packages: • landscaping the decision-making level in all/or a number of European member states • harvesting e-mail addresses of politicians • define a survey questionnaire • online fieldwork • Quantitative actions for the societal midfields organisation (in formula of focus groups etc..) • analysing results • define a monitoring en benchmarking tool for Europe • disseminating the concept
