Project
7th Research Programme

Objectives
The objective of the project is to create an environment which motivates and strengthens the participation of citizens in the policy making process. Using ICT technologies (notably Web2.0, Web Services, Business Process Modelling, the semantics web and policy models), the project will pilot a range of citizen-centric services, targeting both citizens and decision makers, aiming in particular:

To empower public administrators, politicians, decision makers and other stakeholders to develop and test policy models, evaluate scenarios (“what-if” process) and collaborate towards harmonizing migration policy texts.
To facilitate access to information for citizens (in particular immigrants) and to empower them to voice their opinion and evaluate various migration-related proposals and policies.
