Is your public body or organisation currently engaging citizens mainly through physical meetings or offline participation processes? Then, we would be very
interested to hear your ideas, expectations and concerns about digital participation applications (such as idea platforms or tools for participatory budgets).
Why your input is valuable
The INNOVADE project (INNOvative DEmocratie for diigitalisation), funded by the European Commission, aims to make it easier for European citizens to contribute to policymaking and public services. To this end, we are developing an innovative, robust and user-friendly digital democracy application. One that can be easily adapted to different participation projects’ needs and meets all legal requirements, such as regarding data protection and AI integration. In order to design this application in an optimal way, we first want to understand what works (and what doesn't) in existing participation tools. Your experiences, expectations and concerns help us identify strengths, pitfalls and opportunities. Together with insights from colleagues in other European countries, this sets the basis for practical recommendations that our developers can use.
Share your thoughts—the questionnaire only takes 15 minutes to complete
