DEMO-net
(DEMO-net)
DEMO-net is a Network of Excellence funded under the European Commission's sixth framework programme, Information Society Technologies, Action line 2.4.9 (contract number: IST-2004-27219). The project started on 1st January 2006 and was funded for four years.
The overarching objective of DEMO-net was to strengthen scientific, technological and social research excellence in eParticipation by integrating the research capacities of individuals and organisations spread across Europe. The intention was to advance the way research is carried out in Europe with respect to quality, efficiency, innovation and impact to overcome the currently fragmented approach to eParticipation in this important European research area. The network with this overall objective provides a major contribution to the strategic goals set by the European Council.
The four high level objectives of DEMO-net are:
- To achieve a lasting integration of currently fragmented research in eParticipation
- To stimulate joint research in DEMO-net's agreed research areas
- To disseminate DEMO-net research amongst eParticipation stakeholders
- To provide a barometer of research effectiveness for eParticipation in Europe by establishing a corpus of lessons-learnt resource to show what kind of projects have delivered what kind of results and thereby considered effective for eParticipation.
