The aim of the Parliament 2020 project is to produce a report presenting a vision for a digitally enabled parliament along with practical ideas on the processes and procedures of parliament, external and internal communication and public outreach. The report will thematically analyze the feedback from a number of focus groups in each country which considered the ways in which a parliament of the future will harness new information and communication technologies (ICT). The purpose of this guide is to provide information on the purpose and structure of the focus groups to be held as part of the Parliament 2020 project. The guide provides information on recruitment, structuring and managing a focus group and on how the data resulting from it will be analysed.
