Work programme - DEMOS 2017–2024 Programme on Democratic and Effective Governance, Planning and Public Administration - DEMOS

The primary focus of the DEMOS programme revolves around the Ministry of Local Government and Modernisation’s areas of responsibility, which include government administration policy, municipal policy, housing policy, physical planning and regional policy. The DEMOS programme is the successor to the Research Programme on Democracy and Governance in Regional Context (DEMOSREG) (2005–2014) and represents a continuation of that programme. The programme will create arenas for interaction and fund research cooperation across disciplines and research groups to ensure a broad analysis of relevant thematic areas and research topics. The DEMOS programme will work to encourage researchers to participate in various forums for European. research cooperation and to take advantage of the potential under Horizon 2020 to study issues in an international perspective.
