FUTURE POLICY MODELLING (FUPOL) Intelligent Tools for Policy Design

 Governments can gain a lot from using advanced ICT in designing policies and communicating through social webs  FUPOL will provide innovative tools to shape the wealth of information coming from the Internet  Politicians, which will use this new technology, will have better means to serve public interests FUPOL will provide a comprehensive new technological approach to shape future politics FUPOL – STARTING POINT

Scenarios, Simulation Stakeholder Involvement „Hot“ Topic sensing POLICY DESIGN PROCESS Automatically collect, analyze and interpret opinions expressed on a large scale from the Internet Involve Stakeholders through Multichannel social computing and crowd sourcing tol change the way politicians communicate with citizens Simulate the effects of policies and laws and to assist governments in the whole policy design process

FOCUS: URBAN POLICY DOMAINS Land Use Transport Immigration Economic development Energy and water Urban segregation Housing

 A new governance model to engage all stakeholders in the whole policy design lifecycle starting from the early automatic detection of citizens needs.  A comprehensive urban policy knowledge database  An innovative cloud computing based ICT Framework - accessible to all interested parties as a web service.  Multilingual training and accompanying material  Piloting and evaluation of the FUPOL approach in Europe (Croatia, Cyprus, Italy, UK) and China  Large scale dissemination of the results through clusters of European cities such as Major Cities of Europe FUPOL – EXPECTED OUTCOME

COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION Training Material and Guidelines Urban Policies Simulation Recommendation Policy Models Training Material and Guidelines FUPOL TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION
