This study analyses the current state of deliberation platforms in Greece. The analysis was based on two sets of criteria focusing on technical features and participatory design. The findings reveal limited data availability, regardless of laws promoting government data being open and reusable. Multilingual support is also an issue, with Greek being the main language, while English is present but not at a satisfactory level. Engagement is also an issue with uneven numbers of participation between platforms. While these platforms have allowed processes to take place online, thus allowing easier participation, true deliberation has not yet been achieved, as most currently work as a one-way communication tool for collecting comments and feedback. The Conference on the Future of Europe stands as an example of how these platforms can improve in the future.
