Digital Dashboard
The SHAPEDEM-EU Digital Dashboard is intended to be an interactive format to engage with the project’s findings. Users can click on the countries on the map or country groups highlighted in the legend at the bottom of the page. Users can click on the home button or “+” and “-“ buttons in the bottom right to operate a zoom function; this can also be done via a mouse’s scroll wheel when visiting on a personal computer or via a pinch function on a mobile device such as a tablet or smartphone. The dashboard is created for an adaptive design, allowing for a variety of devices to access the site. By clicking on a country or an EU institution (emphasised by the blue dots), users can explore the Dashboard’s contents more closely. Doing so opens a side pane which reveals all of SHAPEDEM-EU’s relevant findings. These are categorised via different aspects of democracy support, highlighted by different colours. Clicking on these displays documents collected from the individual country or institution, or SHAPEDEM-EU outputs and publications. The dashboard is intended for free use by scientists, policy makers and the general public.
