University of British Columbia

The University of British Columbia (UBC) currently hosts the Participedia project, which will be used to document background information for EuComMeet, being it a collaborative platform that offers searchable database of content related to worldwide public participation. 

The Department of Political Science at UBC will provide methodological and scientific advice on the data collection required for the “Lessons Learned” stage of the EuComMeet Project. Participedia will contribute to the design, collection and analysis of deliberative events updating their database and integrating it with new information provided by the data collection effort in this project. 

Thanks to its unique resources, and its researchers’ expertise in data collection and organisation on deliberative practices, the partnership will boost USTUTT’s research activity.
