Citizen participation in EU policy-making remains low, partly due to the complexity and inaccessibility of the system. Digital tools offer a potential solution to increase citizen involvement, but challenges such as mistrust, accessibility gaps, and fragmentation of efforts hinder progress. This episode therefore explores how digitalisation, if implemented effectively and transparently, could strengthen democratic participation in the EU.
Our host, Tom Parker, is joined by Berta Mizsei, Researcher in the Global Governance, Regulation, Innovation, and Digital Economy (GRID) unit at CEPS. Together, they discuss the obstacles to greater public involvement, the role of digital tools in enhancing democracy, and the vision for a more participatory and inclusive EU policy-making process.
