Progetto WEGOV

Closing the loop between policy makers & citizens: introducing the WeGov project

(8 June 2010)Supported by the European Commission, the WeGov project intends to take full advantage of the wide range of existing social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter or Bebo in order to stimulate a strong dialogue between citizens and policymakers. A key feature of the WeGov approach is to allow policy makers to make use of the high levels of participation and rich discussions that take place in existing social networking communities. In particular, engagement between policy makers and citizens will be mediated via tools that make it possible to detect, track and mine opinions and discussions on policy oriented topics and will allow discussions to be seeded and stimulated through injection of policy discussion points into relevant communities in a secure and managed way.
