Registration for

Digital Democracy Workshop

Digital Society Initiative, University of Zurich

October 28th & 29th, 2021

We invite paper submissions on the relationship between digital technology and politics, 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.


This workshop is co-organized by the Democracy Community of the Digital Society Initiative (DSI) and the Digital Democracy Lab (DigDemLab) at the University of Zurich. It aims to facilitate exchange among scholars from different substantive fields working on these topics. We particularly encourage researchers based in or near Zurich to apply, as well as early-career researchers and those belonging to groups traditionally underrepresented in the field. 


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-person if the COVID-19 situation permits and all presenters are expected to attend. For registered non-presenters all sessions will also be live streamed. If the situation does not allow for in-person meetings, the workshop will take place exclusively online.
