2nd Biennial Democracy & Digital Citizenship Conference Series

In recent years, the question of how political processes are influenced by technological innovation¡ªand what makes such influences productive or disruptive¡ªhas simultaneously become a leading emphasis for public interest groups, civil society organizations, and public authorities. Gaining traction in academic disciplines across the humanities, social and technical sciences, the four Centres which host this conference series view the pressing societal challenges beset by digital media technologies, big data, and artificial intelligence as key research priorities. Accordingly, the idea for the conference series was born in 2022¡ªan initiative to create as an interdisciplinary space for developing and addressing these priorities. Scholars from different academic traditions and disciplines ¡ªwho all too rarely meet, despite sharing many research interests¡ªconvene in Denmark every other year, in order to exchange knowledge and insights into the complex and evolving relationships between technological developments, institutional and everyday political practices, and democratic systems of governance. The first conference was hosted by CDC at 真人线上娱乐 University in 2022. Details on the 2024 iteration of the event can be found at the DDC website. The 2026 conference will be hosted by SHAPE at Aarhus University.
