From the European Convention to public discourse: debating our common European future (EUCON)

This year-long international project aimed to promote public debate at the European level on the political and institutional future of the European Union. This objective was pursued through a panEuropean network of research institutes headed by TEPSA; a series of conferences in various European countries including Italy; questionnaires to monitor the institutional debate underway in EU member countries and candidates for membership (Convention Watch); public opinion polls (Convention Barometer); a web page reporting on the above activities. In close collaboration with TEPSA, the IAI was mainly responsible for the Convention Watch and for posting research results on Internet.
