The programme “The Future of Democracy” addresses the current challenges and failures of the democratic system and aims to find ways to strengthen participation. The goal is to imagine how democracy can be reconfigured to be fit for purpose and capable of evolving in the future. Central issues will be: "Strengthening Deliberative Democracy", "Reconfiguring the Use of Social Media and Online Communication", "Enhancing Decision-Making and the Role of AI and Big Data" and "The Future of Political Representation".
