CoParticipation is a research and innovation project that reinvents digital participation. Its goal is to make participatory processes more inclusive, transparent, and reliable by combining advanced technology with citizen-centered design.
Participatory processes have rapidly expanded around the world, allowing citizens to play a direct role in policy-making and resource allocation. While these processes are powerful, they also face persistent challenges. Participation is not always inclusive—many voices remain unheard due to language barriers, digital literacy, or accessibility. Proposals are often difficult to compare, analyze, or improve collaboratively, limiting the quality of debate. At the same time, institutions face growing concerns about manipulation, misinformation, or even fraudulent interference, which can undermine trust.
CoParticipation was born out of the recognition that these challenges cannot be solved with traditional approaches alone. By introducing artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, and smart safeguards, the project addresses these gaps and sets a new standard for digital participation. The result is a platform that strengthens trust, improves inclusion, and provides meaningful insights for both citizens and decision-makers.

CoParticipation is not just about technology—it is about transforming the way democratic participation happens. By combining inclusion, transparency, and trust, the project contributes to stronger and more resilient democracies. It supports citizens in making their voices heard and equips institutions with the tools they need to make better, fairer, and more accountable decisions. Ultimately, CoParticipation is a step forward in making democratic innovation a reality across Europe and beyond.
