Research Results
Over the past few years, the REDRESS project has generated extensive and diverse insights into hybrid democratic innovations. On this page you’ll find an overview of the main results, structured in three layers.
The foundation consists of the scientific research, including PhD theses, various articles, and an edited volume to which all our researchers contributed alongside international authors. Above that lies an intermediate layer of several accessible research reports (in Dutch), along with an overview report on hybrid democratic innovations that we compiled together with the Association of Netherlands Municipalities and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management. The top layer consists of the widely distributed magazine ‘Innovatieve Democratie’ (in Dutch), in which all consortium partners summarise their key findings in an accessible way.
