<p>Ignitas recently won a contract to conduct opinion-based social media research in the EU sponsored research project “Cockpit”.  As one of 12 project consortium partners, including some of Europe&#8217;s leading research and development organizations such as IBM , Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Intrasoft, Ignitas will contribute to the European Union FP7-ICT Programme, &#8220;<a href="http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/egovernment/research/fp7/index_en.htm"title="Visit the EU Commission pages on ICT for Governance &amp; Policy Modelling"  onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/ec.europa.eu');">ICT for Governance and Policy Modelling</a>”.  Ignitas will be responsible for tracking citizens’ opinions and wishes on public service delivery in the EU using opinion based research. The fundamental idea of COCKPIT is that Web 2.0 social media constitute the emerging and de facto mass collaboration and cooperation platform between citizens themselves, and between citizens and public administrations. To read more about the project you can follow the <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=2732480"title="Check out the LinkedIn group for the Cockpit project"  onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.linkedin.com');">Cockpit LinkedIn group</a> or read Prof. Charalabidis’ <a href="http://t-government.blogspot.com/"title="Follow Yannis Charalabidis' blog on Government Transformation"  onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/t-government.blogspot.com');">blog on Government Transformation</a>.</p>
<p>Ignitas vil over de neste tre årene delta i EU-prosjektet ”Cockpit”, der vi sammen med de 11 andre konsortiumpartnere skal utvikle en ny modell for hvordan EU tilbyr sine offentlige tjenester ved å utnytte sosiale medier og web 2.0 teknologi. Sammen med bl.a. IBM, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology og Intrasoft vil vi bidra mot EU sitt FP7-ICT program kalt &#8220;ICT for Governance and Policy Modelling”. Vårt ansvarsområde i prosjektet vil være å analysere brukerstyrte medier for å identifisere hvordan offentlige tjenester blir utnyttet av EU sine innbyggere i dag.
