Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'This Initial Training Network in electoral democracy will bring together 11 expert teams from 9 European countries, including 1 from an associated country and 2 new Member States and 2 full industry partners. The goals of the ELECDEM network are encapsulated in three linked, inter-dependent themes which evaluate the effects of globalisation, communication and institutions on the quality of electoral democracy. Our proposed training network seeks to provide the substantive and methodological skills to a cohort of early stage researchers to undertake the study of electoral democracy and begin academic posts or undertake careers in other sectors. Substantively, through workshops, conferences and institutional training, we will advance an understanding of the three inter-related themes representing the state of the art in the study of elections. Methodologically, we will provide state of the art training in advanced data collection and analysis techniques. Training in practical and complementary skills is provided and will be enhanced and further developed by secondment to industry, associated and full partners. Finally, we will institute a process by which network participants can improve supervisory skills. ELECDEM extends and builds on the FP7 project PIREDEU, a three-year design study to assess the feasibility of an upgrade to the European Election Studies that will provide an infrastructure for research into citizenship, political participation, and electoral democracy in the European Union. The network of scientists is comprised of international researchers in electoral democracy. In combination with the visiting scientist and the associated and industry partners, the training and scientific expertise gathered makes possible a one of a kind research training experience for early researchers that could not be obtained at a single university.'

Descrizione progetto (Article)
The main aims of the EU-funded 'Training network in electoral democracy' (http://www.elecdem.eu/ (ELECDEM)) project were to study the effects of globalisation, communication and institutions on the quality of global democracy. The network brought together 11 expert teams from 9 European countries. This initiative extended the PIREDEU project, which aimed at assessing an infrastructure for researching citizenship, political participation and electoral democracy in the EU.
Specialised workshops and training events were set up and delivered by world-leading experts in the field. The main objectives were met and consisted of multi-level techniques, content and text analysis, cross-national surveys and experiments.
Important findings resulted from the project work. For example, comparisons across generations of voters showed that in western European democracies political ideology, social class, religion and dwelling are less of an influence on younger voters.
ELECDEM published final reports as well as nine journal articles, one book review and three book chapters. The work is influential for researchers, participating institutions, industry partners and the broader academic community.
