The Rationale
Governments make big investments for constructing and operating participative websites in order to communicate to the citizens information on current and future public policies
However, the use of these websites has been in general limited and below expectations
At the same time there is an explosive growth of various Web 2.0 social media
Therefore governments should exploit these Web 2.0 social media in a systematic and centrally managed manner for communicating to the citizens their policies and collecting from them feedback and knowledge
Web 2.0 originated feedback can be used in the context of modelling the reception and impact of policies on society

PADGETS Basic Elements A policy message, which could be a public
policy in any stage
An interface that will allow users to interact with the policy gadget (setup, deploy, keep track of)
Relevant group knowledge, in the form of relevant content and users’ activities that have been produced in external social media (social context)
A set of decision support services using as input the above data from the interaction of a “padget” with the public.

PADGETS Application Scenario
PADGETS & Social Media Presence The project’s web 2.0 presence should span across the entire spectrum of
the web (what we call web 2.0) today. To this end a set of “fit for purpose” social platforms will be utilized in order to allow the public to “come in contact” with PADGETS through a number of popular locations over the web and not merely by the project’s website
Website, where to find us…
Blog, what we believe …
News and press releases…
Reaching out to experts…
Interviews, videos and events…
Images, photos and schematics…
Our network…
Our day to day thinking…

What will be the impact of PADGETS? “Policy Gadgets” are a breakthrough approach to public discourse
that will: Provide easy and intuitive access to Web 2.0 media for communicating
policy proposals and collecting feedback Leverage the network effects of existing social media to involve users
and online communities in the policy formulation process Increase citizen trust and transparency through public and established
social channels Assist in forecasting public response and the impact of policy measures
Through this unique approach, we expect significant benefits for citizens and policy makers by complementing and promoting the democratic political process;
