Aim/Objectives
The proposal aims to advance an innovative research on the links among community engagement, political participation and digital social media to influence the policy-making processes that can benefit democracy in Europe.
Establishing a multi-method based in the Engaged theory, underpinned by a cross-disciplinary approach which involves History, Sociology, Political Science, Communication, Culture and Media Studies and Digital Humanities, through the study of two in-depth cases, the project will achieve the proposed objectives:
- To investigate the influence of digital media technologies in the citizen and political ecosystem;
- To develop a theoretical framework including the Good Practices for democratization which can oriented the policy-making processes;
- To transfer new knowledge of international impact to ERC and the host institution;
- To reinforce my career gaining a stable position in the university after the two-year training through-research project, which is the main goal of my Personal Career Development Plan. The proposal presents a dissemination and communication plan and outreach activities of the theoretical framework, including the publication of two high impact scientific articles and a final monography, as outcomes of the project and an intense diffusion activity of the results (online/offline), aligned with the Pillar 6 of H2020 program on societal challenges.
