Planning, designing, implementing and analyzing online participatory processes is a challenging task. In every single phase of this process, a scientific evaluation can contribute to improving participatory processes. At the Düsseldorf Institute for Internet and Democracy experts from social sciences, computer science, economics and law are working together using a variety of scientific approaches and methods. This expertise is the basis of our scientific evaluations.
