Abstract

In this paper we present innovative solutions to the problem of transparency in Public Administrations (PAs) by opening up public data and services so that citizens participation is facilitated and encouraged with a Social Platform and a personalized user-friendly Transparency-Enhancing Toolset.

Funding

Our research is conducted within a Horizon 2020 European funded innovation project, called ROUTE-TO-PA (www.routetopa.eu) to improve the impact of ICT-based technology platforms for transparency. The ROUTE-TO-PA team is strongly heterogeneous and multidisciplinary. It integrates theory, research, innovation and transformation of local practices, by encompassing research partners, small and large companies, pilot Public Administrations (from four different countries) and one non-profit foundation. Our research partners have expertise in e-government, computer science, learning sciences and economy. In a sense, our team has been designed to tackle the challenges of transparency with a trans-disciplinary approach. To wit, the research described here is strongly embedded into all the areas of reference for the project. Acknowledgments This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 645860.
