The EU is challenged to find new ways to create the links among citizens and between citizens and governments, and to use those links to increase trust in the decision making process, make better policy and create a more involving democracy.

The EU and its citizens could benefit from a more purposeful approach to opening up policy making.

Join our brilliant speakers to discuss how to allow a wider range of citizens and stakeholders to participate in policy making and build a greater connection between public discussion and government action.
