AB The social systems developed in the context of globalisation are further more complex that those arisenwithin the rule-of-law of the nation–states. The local, national and international relations impose intothese social systems different force fields determining the space of possibilities in which they evolve.In this situation, the decision-making is correspondingly further more complex as to drive democraticparticipation from the root-level of individual members and stakeholders, all the way through untilthe global system. eParticipation represents a possibility to make it possible determined by the memberperceptions of partaking in relevant decisions.A paradigmatic example of these globalised social structures is the European Higher Education System,in which very well defined local and national structures coexist with a normative field of globalised relations.Between 2010 and 2013 an eParticipation system was developed under EU support involving a significantnumber of universities from Europe and abroad. A flexible approach was used to adapt thesystem to the different contexts, whereas an analytical framework was set up to evaluate the experiencein order to find guidance for future eParticipation developments. The socio-technical and analyticalframeworks and the corresponding results are discussed aiming to propose a new architecture for eParticipation.This solution targets the challenges of the 21st century University in which the crossroads oflearning analytics, eAdministration and eParticipation are deeply re-structuring the academicenvironment.
