Digital Democracy:
3rd Conference of the European Network for Digital Democracy
Aims & Scope of the Conference
Aims & Scope of the Conference
In recent years, digital democracy has become a subject of academic research and is being put into practice around the world. However, the scientific investigations and practices of digital democracy are currently still living mostly in separate universes. The aim of this conference is to further advance digital democracy, by bringing together academics and practitioners actively working on or with digital democracy. This way we want to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange.
In line with this aim, the conference will feature contributed talks, social and interactive sessions and both academic and non-academic keynote speakers, such as Manon Revel (Google Deepmind) and Graham Wetherall-Grujic (The Innovation in Politics Institute, Berlin).
Call for Contributions
Call for Contributions
We are opening two tracks for selected contributions at the conference: the talks track and the demos track. If you are an academic or a practitioner whose work is related to digital democracy, we invite you to create an account in OpenReview and submit a one-page description/abstract on this page, by June 3rd, 2026. You can submit to either of our tracks:
Talks track: Selected talks will be given 15-20 minutes presentation time in the program, depending on the number of high quality submissions. There will be no proceedings associated with the conference, so you are welcome to submit work that has been previously published by other conferences, journals, and so on.
Demos track: Selected demos will take place in parallel during a dedicated session, where you will be given access to a table and internet connection (‘bring your own laptop’ setup). Participants of the conference will be able to freely roam and join the different demos.
We welcome contributions from both academics and practitioners on any of the following topics, in relation to digital democracy: online deliberation, liquid democracy, the public sphere, apps and tools for online decision-making, machine learning, crowdsourcing, the digital divide, participatory budgeting, computational social choice, digital identities, social media, popular will, secrecy vs. publicity of votes and opinions.
We particularly welcome submissions by students and early career scholars or practitioners.
Contributions will be selected on the basis of their connection to EDDY’s goals, with an eye toward the conference’s multi-, cross-disciplinary target audience and the diversity of projects and contributors. Depending on the number of submissions, some contributions may be selected for a poster presentation instead. Notification of acceptance is expected by June 17th, 2026.
