In this @jepp_journal article, we ask 'What kind of EU do citizens want?' and employ conjoint experiments.
It's co-authored work with my brilliant @reconnectEU @IfPol_WWU colleagues O.Treib & @BSchlipphak and open access: doi.org/10.1080/13501763.202…

Kommunalwahl in der Türkei, Bürgermeisterwahl nach Provinzen: Wenn sich dieser Zwischenstand bestätigt, wäre es ein HISTORISCHES Ergebnis. Eine solche Karte hat die Türkei seit 2002 nicht gesehen. Nicht nur Ankara und Istanbul, die Dominanz der AKP in Anatolien wäre gebrochen.
Representatives of the #EuropeanCitizensPanel on #FoodWaste are today presenting their recommendations to the EU Platform on Food Losses and Food Waste, thereby receiving feedback from the @EU_Commission and important stakeholders. Great precedent for future Citizens‘ Panels!
A recording will be available under this link: webcast.ec.europa.eu/eu-plat….
Thanks to all who have contributed to organizing such a feedback moment for the Citizens' Panels @RNihoul @ColinScic @Food_EU @ifok_de @VoEurope
„It’s the end of a journey for this Citizens‘ Panel, but not the end of the story for citizens’ participation.“ says @RNihoul when closing the event.

My book 'Democracy Without Politics in EU Citizen Participation: From European Demoi to Decolonial Multitude' is out with @Palgrave! It is hopefully a timely contribution to scholar and political debates on ‘citizen participation’ and decolonisation. Here: link.springer.com/book/10.10…

If we could choose an ideal room layout for a citizens' assembly, it would look a lot like this. In the #CLIMAS Horizon project, we are exploring how AI images can be used to better communicate some concepts. Illustration prompted by Deliberativa.

A very interesting #study that enriches the current debate on EU #integration by @con_schaefer, Oliver Treib and @BSchlipphak. It adds important nuances to the complex debate on institutional #reform and reform trajectories preferred by 🇪🇺 #citizens.

I'm glad to be part of Ashoka's Changemaker Europe initiative, which develops ideas for the future of participatory democracy.
If you're interested in our first thoughts, register via mail to [email protected] and join us today!
As one idea among many, we propose a permanent European Citizens' Assembly, in order to bring true participatory democracy to the EU level.
Great group work together with @KalypsoNicolaid @J_Baruck @mariakoomen @finnheinrich @max_oehl.

It was great and truly interesting to discuss the role of civil society in "Citizens' Panels and deliberative processes" at the European Economic and Social Committee @EESC_LiaisonG. Thanks for the invitation, @BrikenaXhomaqi & @EESC_President ! More info: eesc.europa.eu/en/agenda-ite…

Bei den #CitizensPanels trägt @con_schaefer dazu bei, die EU bürgernäher zu machen: Mit zufällig ausgewählten Bürger:innen aus ganz Europa diskutiert das Team über EU-Politikmaßnahmen & richtet Empfehlungen an die @EU_Commission: fal.cn/3yjMt #Europawochen

Did you check the last publication from @DemTech_org? It is the first report on Democracy Technologies in Europe, regarding online participation, deliberation, and voting. 🗳️🗣️
As many others, we participated in the study, essentially based on interviews with practitioners in governments, experts, and company representatives across Europe. It suggests the development of Europe-wide quality standards for security and processes, as new forms of participatory and deliberative democracy are widely applied in many European countries. 🌍🏙️

Heute hat der @bundestag den ersten eigenen #Bürgerrat mehrheitlich beschlossen. Nun werden 160 Menschen in Deutschland per Los ausgewählt und Empfehlungen zum Thema Ernährung erarbeiten. Ist Ernährung reine Privatsache, oder auch Angelegenheit des Staates?t1p.de/lj8l1
