Over the past few years, more and more public services are made available online. This has been accelerated by recent budgetary cuts and growing digitalization of the society. Digital by default is now becoming the norm in Europe.

It is very important that no one is left behind! When it comes to accessing citizen services, especially those addressing life events, everyone should be enabled and particularly the elder who may have a bit more trouble making it to the public administration offices.
Local governments are more and more using open data to provide public services to their citizens. However, they lack tools on how to involve citizens, especially older citizens, in the design, planning, implementation and evaluation of these initiatives.

The results of Mobile Age will be useful to strengthen the competitiveness and growth of companies that are helping public administrations, especially municipalities, in the provision and management of their open data sources. It will also improve their competitiveness in the exploitation of local data sources that are used in the provision of services for senior citizens.

Researchers

Our research project will provide novel insights into co-creation methods and their evaluation for social scientists, in particular with respect to the co-creation of open government services with and for senior citizens. We will further enhance theory development on themes surrounding digital mobility and critical data studies.

Citizens
- Created: 27 April 2016
A majority of citizens are usually marginalised when it comes to technical innovation, use of open data government and online civic participation. This is often due to bad design, lack of user involvement, poor representation of all groups of citizens, and therefore inadequacy with citizens’ real needs and expectations. As more and more public services are becoming available online only, we believe it is essential to change this way of working and allow all citizens to access all public services in an adequate, efficient and inclusive way.
