Development of a theoretical foundation and standardization of the criteria and instruments for the evaluation of online participation processes in different settings.

  • Which evaluation criteria are relevant for which context in online participation processes?
  • How can we measure input and process quality of an online participation process, its output, outcome and impact?
  • Can established evaluation models and approaches from other (offline) contexts be transferred to the evaluation of online participation processes?
  • How can evaluation results be integrated and used in online participation research?
