The FUPOL project aims to create a new governance model for more transparent and open policy design that engages stakeholders throughout the process. It has a budget of 9.01 million euros over 48 months with 17 partners from various European and Asian countries. New technologies like social computing, semantic analysis, simulation, and cloud computing will be used to automatically identify policy issues from online citizen opinions, involve stakeholders in providing feedback, and simulate the effects of policy options to support more informed decision making. The goals are to give citizens a greater voice, improve communication between politicians and citizens, better predict policy impacts, and increase civic engagement and innovation through new digital tools.
