I am a political scientist and observer. Based in Brussels, I have lived and worked in Germany, the UK and the Czech Republic before.
Simon Dalferth

I work as a Education System and Policy Analyst for Eurydice, where I focus mostly on higher education policy and ICT in education. In my spare time and fully convinced, I am a partner at the European Institute for Public Participation (EIPP).

Focussing on participatory democracy, citizen participcation and NGO legitimacy management, we, at the EIPP develop and evaluate cross-medial participation processes according to their democratic and learning effects.

In doing so, I can help you select the right tools for your requirements. If you want to know more about our approach, please drop me a line.

My academic background is in political science and international relations, where I have done research on NGOs and legitimacy management. Police and internal security cooperation in the EU, Germany and England were the topic of my doctoral research.
