ISEED – Inclusive Science and European Democracies
Developing deliberative and participatory democracies by learning from Citizen Science
ISEED – Inclusive Science and European Democracies is an international research project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme (2021-2024). ISEED responds to the EU’s call for supporting inclusive, innovative and reflective societies in Europe by “Developing deliberative and participatory democracies through experimentation”.
Our project’s main goal is to translate lessons from citizen science engagement projects to better understand how to involve citizens in democratic deliberation. We develop the concept of deliberative participation, analysing and exploring democratic participation along its knowledge, institutional, technological (digital or not) and emotional dimensions.
ISEED is coordinated by Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and joins researchers from Italy, France, Poland, Norway, Denmark, Ireland, Spain, Bulgaria, Uruguay and the United Kingdom for the next 3 years.
#ISEEDFinalConference is finishing w a generative discussion on inclusion and participatory deliberation, the gaps between research and policy, stakeholders and citizens, academics and citizens and how to collaborate on building and leading engagement and cocreative CS processes.
