The functional model has not yet been entirely finalized. In order to be able to evaluate it, some technical work still needs to be completed. For example, the front and back ends remain to be merged. Your task will be to carry out this work and to support the PhD candidate carrying out the project with the technical evaluation. The evaluation should be conducted in cooperation with the NGO "Mehr Demokratie", and the functional model should therefore be implemented in the NGO's technical environment.
