Abstract
Traditionally, expert-based forward looking has been applied
to anticipate future challenges, solutions and strategic decisions,
but limitations to this approach have become obvious – especially
when considering long term perspectives – e.g. failing to include
a comprehensive array of opinions. Aiming at producing sustainable
strategies for responsible socio-technical change, research
funding can benefit from combining forward looking and public
participation to elicit socially robust knowledge from consulting
with multi-actors, including citizens. In this paper, we give
insights into the EU project CIMULACT – Citizen and Multi-
Actor Consultation on Horizon 2020. In CIMULACT, more than
4500 citizens, stakeholders and experts from 30 European countries
engaged online and offline to co-create research topics. These
are supposed to serve as input for the next round of calls in Horizon
2020, national research agendas as well as the ninth framework
programme in the making. We investigate key results of this
transdisciplinary process focussing on the topic “democratic education”
with regard to two levels: What issues concerning the topic
were raised? Can we find a common European imaginary for
“democratic education”? Our analysis shows that the results contribute
to defining and describing challenges for the currently prevailing
imaginary of democratic education in Europe.
