About the team
Consul is managed by Today is a new day, Institute for other studies / Danes je nov dan, Inštitut za druga vprašanja
We are a non-profit institute that relies on digital technologies and the internet to facilitate dialogue on public issues, advocate for transparency and open data, and promote collaborative and inclusive online decision-making processes by developing and implementing open-source software. We possess a unique mix of marketing and technological skills and academic insights and methodological approaches to comprehending contemporary social movements.
We have developed several digital tools that allow the public to monitor the work of elected representatives (Parlameter, Medijski besedogled, etc.) and participate in decision-making processes (Consul, Omnia map, Political portrait, etc.). Since 2012, we have also published more than 50 digital communication campaigns, in which we draw the public attention to various social issues through user-friendly experience and innovative, sometimes humorous storytelling. Many of our projects are collaborations with Slovenian and foreign NGOs, the media, municipalities, and international partners.
So far, we have been funded by Google DNI, NED, U.S. Embassy, Slovenian Ministry of Public Administration, and Erasmus+. We have received several awards for our work (Brumen award for excellent Slovenian design, Diggit Grand Prix, two Golden Diggit awards). Our projects are regularly featured in the media and our members are often invited to speak at Slovenian and international public events. In 2019 we were granted the status of a non-governmental organization in the public interest in the field of information society development by Slovenian Ministry of Public Administration.
