DEMOCRACY 2.0
GRANDCHALLENGE
Pushing the frontiers of democracy-supporting technologies
Science & tech have a major impact on society. They help us solve some of the most pressing challenges around climate change, digital or healthcare.
​
But technology can also contribute to mass surveillance, spread hate & conspiracy theories and threaten privacy.
We therefore need to strongly develop democracy-supporting technologies.
