The Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development, also called Framework Programmes or abbreviated FP1 through FP8, are funding programmes created by the European Union in order to support and encourage research in the European Research Area (ERA). The specific objectives and actions vary between funding periods.
Below you can find several FP7 Projects.
CROSSROAD
A Participative Roadmap for ICT Research in Electronic Governance and Policy Modelling
“Classifies research in ICT for governance and policy modeling into 5 main themes: 1. open government information and intelligence for transparency; 2. social computing, citizen engagement and inclusion; 3. policy making; 4. identity management and trust in governance and 5. future internet for collaborative governance”

COCKPIT
Citizens Collaboration and Co-Creation in Public Service Delivery
"Aims to define a new Governance model which actively engages and empowers citizens in the public service delivery decision making process."

IMPACT
Integrated Method for Policy Making Using Argument Modelling and Computer Assisted Text Analysis
“Conducts original research to develop and integrate formal, computational models of policy and arguments about policy, to facilitate deliberations policy at a conceptual, language independent level (…); supports the analysis of policy proposals in an inclusive way which respects the interests of all stakeholders (…).”

OCOPOMO
Open Collaboration for Policy Modelling
“Its objective is to implement an ICT solution for the target users to provide a collaborative environment for an integrated process of policy modelling to produce formal scenarios; (…) will create an ICT-based environment integrating lessons and practical techniques from complexity science, agent based social simulation, foresight scenario analysis and stakeholder participation in order to formulate and monitor social policies to be adopted at several levels of government.”

PADGETS
Policy Gadgets Mashing Underlying Group Knowledge in Web 2.0 Media
“introduces the concept of Policy gadget (PADGET) – similar to the gadget applications approach in Web 2.0 – to represent a micro web application that combines a policy message with underlying group knowledge in social media (in the form of content and user activities) and interacts with end users in popular locations (such as social networks, blogs, forums, news sites, etc) in order to get their input and convey it to policy makers ”

+SPACES
Policy Simulation in Virtual Spaces
“(…) virtual words are popular, diverse, established; they show spontaneous economic, political and social parallels to the real world (…); through the +Spaces interface, government bodies will have at their disposal a set of operations they can perform in virtual worlds in order to test the impact of prospective legislation”

UbiPOL
Ubiquitous Participation Platform for POLicy Making
“(…) it is suggested that the more citizens find connections between their as-usual life activities and relevant policies, he more they become pro-active or motivated to be involved in policy making processes” (only for authorized! citizens)

WEGOV
Where eGovernment meets eSociety
“Argues that social networking technology provides major new opportunities for policy makers (e-Government) to engage with the community (eSociety)”

FUPOL
politics 2 steps ahead
“FUPOL aims at a completely new approach to traditional politics. Major innovations like multichannel social computing and crowd sourcing will change the way politicians communicate with citizens and enterprises and take decisions. The system will be able to automatically collect, analyze and interpret opinions expressed on a large scale from the Internet.”
