ACADEMIC CONTRIBUTIONS

Throughout the conference, there will be an academic track organized by Frederik Van De Putte (Erasmus University Rotterdam) and Davide Grossi (University of Groningen, University of Amsterdam) in the framework of the European Digital DemocracY network (EDDY). EDDY brings together academics with practitioners to collaborate on the topic of digital democracy.

Digital Democracy The Hague thus offers space for academic contributions (e.g. in computer science, political science, philosophy, communication science) on the topic of digital democracy. The academic track will feature talks by individual researchers and project leaders of large (European) research projects. More info about the sessions will be provided soon on this page.
