What we are doing

4 January 2010 3 Comments

Launched in spring 2009, the European Institute for Public Participation (EIPP) is a not-for-profit organisation whose mission is to promote better decision-making through public participation. Its key activities are:

  • Research into what works when in terms of engaging the public in the decision-making processes which affect their lives and society and the environment at large.
  • Evaluation of specific participation activities to develop a better and deeper understanding of the factors which make these activities effective – or ineffective – in order to learn from experiences.
  • Building capability and capacity of those charged with fostering the participation of the public in decision-making, based on the evidence from research and evaluation.
  • Developing networks of researchers and practitioners in public participation across Europe and linking with similar networks in other continents.
  • Promoting the benefits of public participation through changing the attitudes and behaviours of the politicians and public officials involved.
