EUComMeet project aims at exploring under which conditions deliberation and representation can be an effective response to the challenges besetting liberal representative democracies. In order to do so, EUComMeet intends:
a) To experiment with ways of systematically embedding deliberative practices and institutions in the multilevel system of governance and representation of the European Union;
b) To explore under which conditions deliberation and participation can help (1) reduce polarisation, (2)strengthen European identity, (3) encourage inclusiveness and (4) citizens’ reflectivity, and (5) narrow the representative gap between policymakers and citizens.
