The site provides basic information about participation and sustainable development, introduces related issues such as environmental mediation, refers to interesting case histories of successful participation processes, includes a survey of specialized literature and gives details of forthcoming events – and that’s not all. It originated as an information platform set up in the aftermath of the First Symposium on Environmental Mediation in 2001, with the main focus on environmental mediation. Since then it has been developed and expanded into a central information facility for the issue of participation and sustainable development.
Strategic responsibility for the website's content is in the hands of two experts, who have long been concerned with questions linked to the issue of participation:
