The General eParticipation track aims to present the best of recent developments in electronic Participation (eParticipation), covering a wide range of technical, political and social areas. The papers will present new and innovative developments in this expanding discipline. eParticipation refers to the use of Information and Communication Technologies to enhance political participation and citizen engagement. eParticipation is by definition a multidisciplinary field of study. Today, eParticipation is particularly timely and relevant in various contexts and in diverse environments, focusing on issues such as: digital democracy; participatory public service design; use of open government data in eParticipation initiatives; use of social media by citizens, governments and civil servants, and top-down and bottom-up eParticipation initiatives related to the economic and welfare issues. The General eParticipation track aims to bring together researchers from distinct disciplines interested in eParticipation; as such it provides a unique opportunity for researchers to present and discuss new ideas, meet other researchers and practitioners and plan future cooperation. The scope of the General eParticipation track covers the whole range of research in eParticipation. Its principal aim is to review advances in research in both social and technological scientific domains, seeking to demonstrate new theories, concepts, methods and styles of eParticipation with the support of innovative ICT.
