• Carry out survey work of authorities in the region to identify understanding of the local eDemocracy issues
• Map the current state of play
• Contributie to a consistent means of evaluating current performance and progress
• Seek examples of innovation which can be used as case studies
• Identify emerging good practice in relation to eDemocracy
• Hold regional events for the purposes of dissemination
