Of European scope.

EU COMMUNITY Merges ICT and Social Media Networking with established online media and Stakeholder groups to cultivate transparency, enhance efficiency and stimulate fresh ideas dor EU Policy making. Three Challenges are identifies to reduce complexity and leverage under used technologies. 1. Ever more complex policy processes, thousands of contributors and documents, not easily understandable by people. REQUIRE reputation ranks and relevance filters; 2. eGov projects grow locally but have limited EU impact due to language, interface and trust barriers. Require co-development with stakeholders, leveraging visualisation technologies such as curated timelines; 3, Social media is prevalent but not helping EU legislation-making yet (except bloquing ACTA). Novel Approach: over 36 months, a consortium of leading research centers, ICT SME's and large media network, will go from existing tools to further advance prototype, pilot-testing and roll-out. They are supported by a number of high-calibre experts and foundation serving as community guarantor. EU-Community provides decision makers with better policy options
