New efficient and participatory models and technologies for Euro-Mediterranean administrative action

The basic idea is to co-define and test a new relationship between public administrations, citizens and the private sector in the Euro-Mediterranean area. This relationship will move beyond the current administrative, cultural, and ethical differences between the single administrative systems.

The Euro-Mediterranean basin, considered here as a single vast area, has hosted administrative models and activities whose historical roots are varied and composite: Francophone, Anglophone, Hispanic, Italian, Islamic, Byzantine, etc...
The idea’s theoretical basis rests upon the need to create a highly innovative model that differentiates itself from pre-existing ones. This model should be based on administrative co-operation and reciprocity. The innovative nature of the project stresses the need to create co-determined administrative models that arise out of a shared, integrated process. The project therefore aims to define:

- ways to launch co-operative efforts between single public administrations and administrative systems while preserving their historical identities;

- ways to achieve a new “integrated” administrative identity that includes circularity and exchanges between each single Euro-Mediterranean system;

- ways to arrive at new relationships between public administrations, citizens, and the private sector that are supported by new technologies and that go beyond simple and traditional models of co-operation between the administration and its “clients”.

The project is well aware of how slow administrative connection processes are, and it will start from an experimental phase. It includes experiences undertaken in “micro-administrative” contexts within a wider administrative reform framework.
Proposed solutions refer to specific sectors in the administration whose links and relationships with their “clients” are strong: schools, hospitals, authorisations and industrial investments. The project will examine exemplary cases, significant cases, and replicable cases, non-dogmatic experiences, best practices, etc. than can subsequently be widely shared. The project aims to create new concrete experiences, new models, and new procedures and “shared” charters marks based on equilibrium between new participants and new levels of efficiency.

The project will use new approaches and technological procedures that will be both scientific and replicable.
