The main objective of the LEX-IS Project is to improve the legislative process in National Parliaments through enhancing public participation in the preparatory stages (the legislation proposal formation stage and the debate on draft legislation in Parliaments) with the use of state-of-the-art information technology tools and methodologies. As the LEX-IS platform will be deployed, some initial results supporting the implementation level and the legislation monitoring phases are also going to be extracted. LEX-IS trials are going to be executed within the operational framework and with selected, real processes of three European Parliamentarian institutions, which are: the Austrian Parliament, the Lithuanian Parliament and the Model European Parliament (MEP).
The LEX-IS Consortium represents a balanced mix of Parliaments, IT Providers and Academic Institutions and consists of 7 partners coming from five EU Member States: Greece, Lithuania, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands.
