*********************
New Zealand is an associated country in Pillar 2 of Horizon Europe, the world's largest research and innovation framework programme. New Zealand-based researchers and organisations can join or lead Horizon Europe projects and receive funding on equal terms with their European counterparts.

Building on New Zealand's strong start in Horizon Europe, EURAXESS Australia & New Zealand presents New Zealand: A Horizon Europe Success Story - a feature series showcasing Horizon Europe projects involving New Zealand institutions.

In the second episode, we highlight EU-CIEMBLY: Creating an Inclusive European Citizens’ Assembly, a Horizon Europe project where University of Waikato and Victoria University of Wellington play a key role.

EU-CIEMBLY addresses the need for the introduction of new forms of citizens’ participation and deliberation in EU political life and, particularly, an EU Citizens’ Assembly whose design and implementation fully addresses issues of intersectionality, inclusiveness, and equality.

In the landscape of EU political life, the absence of effective mechanisms for inclusive citizen participation has resulted in the perpetuation of intersectional discrimination and the exclusion of vulnerable groups. Despite efforts to enhance participatory democracy, the oversight in addressing intersectionality within EU law has hindered progress. In this context, the EU-funded EU-CIEMBLY project aims to confront these challenges and pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable EU Citizens’ Assembly. Specifically, the project will design a tool that not only addresses current issues at the EU lever, but also provides a prototype adaptable at national and local levels. By bridging theory, evaluation, and piloting, the project stands poised to reshape participatory democracy in the EU.

The consortium includes the University of Coimbra (Portugal), University of Essex (UK), Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain), European Citizens Action Service (Belgium), University of the Witwatersrand Johannesburg (South Africa), Institute for Methods Innovation (Ireland), Aspon Consulting (Cyprus), Universita' Degli Studi Di Bergamo (Italy) Victoria University of Wellington (New Zealand), University of Waikato (New Zealand) and Make.Org (France). The total funding is EUR 2,998,845 for 48 months.
