Mission & Interests

Goals: Our organization has its origins in the Constitutional Convention on the Future of Europe (2002/03) in which we successfully campaigned for the legal introduction of the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) – the world’s first and only tool of transnational, participatory and digital democracy. Today we work on the successful introduction of the ECI. We closely monitor ECI implementation and support individual ECIs with online collection software, campaigning, fundraising and legal advice. In particular, we provide the only independent ECI Help Desk. We consist of former and ongoing ECI organizers, IT-coders and EU-lawyers who provide their expertise for the sake of democratic development in the EU. As of 2016 the organisation works for the combination of the ECI with other democratic innovations such as sortition (randomly selcted citizens' panels).
