One of the key aspects towards the creation of a unified European Higher Education Area is the close cooperation and interaction between governments, higher education institutions, stu- dents, staff, employers and quality assurance agencies. To facilitate this process, MyUniversity was conceived as an innovative project that aims to involve all university members and stakehold- ers in the higher education decision process, through a transparent and extremely user friendly e-Participation platform. e partici- pant universities form Bulgaria, Lithuania, Spain, Slovakia and Sweden will be able, through the use of this platform after specialized training, to engage their members and stake- holders on multiple issues to get their feedback, both locally and at European level. At a Glance Project: MyUniversity - Decision making for a united higher education Project coordinator: GFI NV, BELGIUM Participating partners: Gov2u (Greece), Scytl Secure Electronic Voting S.A.(Spain), Centre de Supercoputació de Catalunya (Spain), Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra (Slovakia), Rey Juan Carlos University (Spain), Stockholm University (Sweden), University of Presov in Presov (Slovakia), Interna- tional Business School Bulgaria, University of National and World Economy (Bulgaria), University of León (Spain), Univer- sity of Vilnius (Lithuania), Slovak University of Technogy in Bratislava (Slovakia). Participating universities in the trials: Polytechnic University of Catalo- nia (Spain), Autonomous University of Barcelona (Spain), University of Barcelona (Spain), University of Girona (Spain), University of Lleida (Spain) Duration: 30 months Total Cost: €2.30m EU Contribution: €1.15m Programme: e Information and Communication Tecnologies Policy Support Programme of the Competitiveness and Innova- tion Framework Programme (CIP-ICT PSP-2009-3bis) ICT PSP Programme website: http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/ict_psp Area: eme 3: ICT for government and governance, Objective 3.5: e-Participation, empower and involve citizens in transparent decision-making in the EU Contract type: Pilot Type B Project reference: 256216 SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES MyUniversity will increase the direct participation of university members and stakeholders in the higher education decision making process, by providing them with a centralized point where policy issues are sum- marized and clearly explained. is information will allow university members and stakeholders to under- stand the impact of the policy and then use the interac- tive e-Participation tools to provide their contributions on the subject. MyUniversity will create an advanced e-Participation platform that offers several different interactive tools based on Web2.0 technology, allowing university members and stakeholders to easily participate in the policy-making process of the higher education area. e platform will also leverage the success of social networks such as Facebook, by advertising its content on them in order to “hook” new users. INNOVATIVE APPROACH e project provides a new dimension that many other e-Participation projects lack and that is a transparent and seamless way of converting National/Regional level debates and interrelations to European level ones e universities do not have to worry about hosting the platform and can dedicate all their efforts to what is really important, e-Participation e project has been conceived and directed at a specific environment where real participation can be fostered and take place
