A.C. (Anne) Eichholtzer, PhD

Anne is working with the SPEAK UP! project, which aims to improve collaborations and communication between governments and citizens. The research focuses on promoting constructive dialogue among participants with diverse viewpoints (e.g., backgrounds, opinions) and investigates how these panels can enable the integration of different positions and avoid polarization.

The project “Speak Up!” is funded by the European Regional Development Fund: Interreg North Sea, and involves a large international consortium of research (e.g, Hannah Arendt Institute, Belgium) and governmental partners (e.g., municipality Groningen and province of Drenthe - Netherlands, city of Malmö - Sweden; city of Oldenburg - Germany; Skive Kummune - Danemark).
