WAVE (Welcoming Argument Visualisation to Europe) is an eParticipation Project co-funded by the European Commission and designed to improve the inclusiveness and transparency of EU decision-making at national and European levels, focusing on the issues of climate change and environment.
The Pilot Websites of the Project have been launched in the UK, France and Lithuania on 16 October 2009, 13 November 2009, and 10 December 2009 respectively. They can be accessed by going to the following websites:
www.debatclimat.eu (French Pilot)
www.jointhewave.org (UK Pilot)
www.wave-diskusijos.lt (Lithuanian Pilot)
The official launch of the first pilot (French Pilot) took place in Sophia Antipolis (France) in the form of Sophia Café which focused on the topic of Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions: How to Intensify the Efforts? The event was organised by the consortium partner Foundation Sophia Antipolis (www.sophia-antipolis.org). It was organised under the patronage of Pierre Laffitte, Honorary Senator and the President of the Foundation Sophia Antipolis.
WAVE was pleased to have an opportunity to present the Project to the audience of 81 event participants and to listen and discuss the ideas and feedback after Laurent Soulier’s (Director of International Relations & and European Affairs at Foundation Sophia Antipolis), David Price’s (Debategraph) and Deirdre Lee’s (DERI) presentations on WAVE and Debategraph, which is a tool used by WAVE.
