The Digital Democracy Workshop is co-organized by the Democracy 
Community of the Digital Society Initiative and the Digital Democracy 
Lab of the University of Zurich. We invite paper submissions on the 
relationship between digital technology and democracy, broadly 
understood. The workshop aims to facilitate exchange between scholars 
from different disciplines working on these issues.

We invite paper submissions on the relationship between digital 
technology and democracy, broadly understood. We are particularly 
interested in topics such as political communication and public opinion, 
e-government and public administration, AI and governance, civic tech 
and political participation, the regulation of tech platforms, and state 
repression and surveillance, among others. We welcome submissions using 
different methodological approaches to study these topics.

This workshop is organized by the Democracy Community of the Digital 
Society Initiative (https://democracy.dsi.uzh.ch) at the University of 
Zurich. It aims to facilitate exchange and collaboration among scholars 
from different substantive fields working on these topics.

Workshop attendance is free and is open to both paper presenters and 
non-presenters, but registration is required and subject to seat 
availability. The workshop will take place in Zurich from about 9:00, 13 
November until about 17:00, 14 November. All presenters are expected to 
attend in person and make their own travel arrangements.
