Project description

The objectives of the Action (under the EU H2020 Framework Programme) are to gather and organize information about all deliberative democracy experiments related to constitution-like issues, research and writing about constitutional deliberative democracy, and the actors involved in both; to make this information widely available and widely used; to promote interaction between actors involved in this area, and also interested actors who are not yet involved. 

Deven Burk represents Luxembourg in working group 1 (WG1). WG1 discusses and studies the theoretical, normative, and conceptual complexities involved in deliberative constitutional reform. 

Raphael Kies and Ekaterina Chirkova represent Luxembourg and are the leaders (with Alina Ostling) of Working Group 3 (WG3). WG3 analyzes the potential uses of communication technologies to promote a more inclusive, deliberative and legitimate participatory constitutional process. The group is also more generally interested in the notion of e-consultation around which it plans to publish a reference work.
