This second public event will be held via Zoom to discuss means of operationalising European democracy. In particular, the project lead Dr. Matteo Garavoglia will present three specific proposals inspired by a liberal demoicratic theory and show how, if operationalised, these could contribute to enhancing the quality of European democratic life and policy-making.
