We are proud to announce that we are leading our first EU project called INDEU – Inclusive Digitalisation in the EU.
The project aims to solicit citizen’s opinions and recommendations on an EU digital transformation policy that ‘leaves no one behind’.
Whilst several key pieces of legislation have moved forward within the EU (Digital Markets Act, Digital Services Act, revised Audiovisual Media Services Directive, Regulation on Markets in Crypto-Assets), the digital divide continues to affect specific groups and is exacerbated by the rapid digitalisation of European societies. The intersectional digital divide data indicates that much more needs to be done to bridge this social, economic, and political gap.
Based on this premise, the INDEU project aims to foster a better understanding of citizens’ perceptions of digital policies in Europe by implementing a one-year crowdsourcing process to gather the opinions of the “crowd” on the topic of digital transformation in six countries – Spain, Germany, Belgium, Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania – selected based on their historical, economical and digital diversity.
INDEU is led by the European Citizen Action Service (ECAS). The consortium comprises a transnational partnership of seven civil society organisations from Eastern and Western European countries:
The project is co-funded by the European programme Citizen, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) programme (Grant Number 101147200). It started on 1st July 2024 and will be completed on 31st May 2026.
