Diversity Context
A key objective of the e-consultation research group is to develop e-consultation technologies to promote the concept of citizens participating in public policy discussions and debates.
The belief that using new technologies creatively can help citizens to get involved and this, in turn, helps policy makers keep informed of what the public think about important issues.
Each of the previous e-consultation experiments and trials, run by the team, had brought together people from different communities into the same virtual space to interact and exchange messages.
