D-CENT is a set of Public Innovation tools co-funded by the European Commission and run by a consortium with ten partners all across Europe (namely Nesta, ThoughtWorks, Dyne.org, The Citizens Foundation, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Forum Virium Helsinki, World Wide Web Consortium, CES, International Modern Media Institute and the Open Knowledge Foundation). These tools are aimed at democratic organisations (such as political parties, citizens’ coalitions, etc.) that want to increase involvement of their members to make consistent and fair decisions or introduce new policy in order to achieve desired outcomes. They can be used to engage citizens in writing political manifestos, determining policy priorities, deciding about the allocation of municipal budget and actively participating in the political decision-making process.
