Methodology

EUARENAS will initiate an iterative process of theorisation, and conceptual development. It will confront available knowledge with new empirical evidence by generating knowledge and tools for improving participatory and deliberative governance.

The project will create processes of knowledge transfer between case study insights and co-developed initiatives (pilot projects).

​

Our Analytical work focuses on case studies (WP 3), piloting governance experiments (WP 4) and democratic governance scenarios based on foresight methods (WP 5). In all phases of the analytical work close interaction with stakeholders, either as consortium members, cooperation partners or other stakeholder groups, is planned.
