ProInfo is proud to be contributing to the project Co-Deciding Europe: Civic Tech for Good Governance and Active Citizenship (CODE Europe) which pilots an innovative e-participation collaborative method of crowdsourcing legislation in Bulgaria, Greece, Portugal, Latvia and Estonia. Using advanced IT solutions and tailor-made digital tools and platforms the project aims at developing a culture of digital democracy and empowers citizens and public authorities to use modern means of interaction in the decision-making process on the subject of air quality.
CODE Europe is carried out by a Consortium of organisations from Hungary, Iceland, Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Portugal, Latvia, Estonia and Slovenia. The three year project started in January 2021 with the support of the EEA and Norway Grants Fund for Regional Cooperation.
DigiDEM EU applies the CODE Europe collaborative methods of crowdsourcing legislation and ‘social listening’ in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Montenegro on the subject of air quality. It aims to ensure that the collected citizens’ contributions on the topic feed into and impact EU policy-making.

Ending the „limbo“in Europe: Initiative for improved implementation of the rights of the EU citizens residing in another country of the Union
On May 29, 2015 ProInfo carried out the first of a series of national debates focused on active citizen impact on EU policies. The debate focused on the role of civil society for improving the implementation of the basic EU right of freedom of movement while at the same time preventing the abuse of social funds by “social benefit tourism”. The participants in the debate discussed and adopted a policy initiative for improved implementation of the rights of the EU citizens residing in another country.
