Conference on the traceability of public decisions - Dec 2023
Núria Almiron took part in the "Jornada sobre la traçabilitat de les decisions públiques" (Conference on the traceability of public decisions) organised by the Direcció General de Bon Govern, Innovació i Qualitat Democràtiques (Generalitat de Catalunya) on 11th December 2023.
The conference was dedicated to reflection on a paradigm shift in the field of lobbying, understanding the possible contribution of social actors as a genuine contribution to decision-making, provided that there are control mechanisms in place to prevent any attack on public integrity. Dr. Almiron contributed with the short talk "Not all interests are the same: How to distinguish and democratise influence", in which she discussed the need to distinguish between interests and the different levels of contribution of lobbies to democracy.
