Pilots

Discover our diverse pilots, spanning local, regional, national, and European scales, each designed to innovate democratic processes.

Pilot 1

Reimagining the Building Blocks of Democracy

This pilot will test the ORBIS solution by using it in democratic debates about the core parts of democracy: the people, leadership, information, voting and funding. These discussions have so far been held in expert roundtables worldwide.

Pilot 2

Teens for Democracy

This pilot will use the ORBIS solution in projects with teenagers and decision makers to see how well it meets goals, gains support and makes an impact.

It will also act as an educational tool, empowering young people with democratic principles and processes and encouraging their meaningful participation in different parts of their civic life.

Pilot 3

Young Thinkers and EU decision-makers

This pilot will leverage the ORBIS solution in collaboration with the CEPS Young Thinkers initiative, providing young professionals with a platform to share fresh, innovative ideas and perspectives on policy. ORBIS tools will support the CEPS flagship annual event, Ideas Lab, enriching participants’ deliberation experience. 

Pilot 4

Future4Citizens

Re-Imagine Europa (RIE) is an international non-partisan think-tank dedicated to fostering innovative political ideas and inclusive dialogue for a democratic Europe.
Within its Future4Citizens programme, RIE will pilot the ORBIS toolkit to explore AI-enhanced deliberation on critical topics like sustainable agriculture. The initiative unites diverse stakeholders to co-create solutions for Europe’s shared future.

Pilot 5

Meccanismi di transizione per una città democratica

The Pilot relies on gathering emerging voices from loosely coordinated groups in Milan advocating for democratic processes in urban challenges.
Through Orbis the experimentation, lead by Rob de Matt, facilitates citizen-institution dialogue using a hybrid digital/in-person deliberation methodology, for space-based action across various scales and issues.

Pilot 6

Συμμαχία για την Επιχειρηματικότητα και την Ανάπτυξη στη Δυτική Ελλάδα

Η πιλοτική αυτή εφαρμογή θα δοκιμάσει τη λύση ORBIS χρησιμοποιώντας την σε δια ζώσης (και υβριδικές) συναντήσεις με θέματα που αφορούν την επιχειρηματικότητα, την έρευνα και την καινοτομία. Η έμφαση θα δοθεί στην αξιολόγηση του πόσο καλά η λύση ORBIS διευκολύνει τη συλλογή και συγκέντρωση των απόψεων και των σχολίων των πολιτών
