Due to the health emergency the INTERNATIONAL FORUM on DIGITAL and DEMOCRACY moves to online-only format. Register for remote conference participation .

The digital age with the advent of the immaterial world, impacts democracy systems in relevant ways, tackling electoral systems, political representation and citizen participation. The Internet revolution has scaled up and speed up the pace of transformation of political organization, participation, information and engagement weakening the role of intermediate structures.

Democracy in the digital age catalyzes the tension between individuals and society, institutions and bodies, and between rights and duties, especially in critical situation like health emergency. Digital evolution is supposed to support SDG objective 16 and not, as it might appear, diverge from sustainable development respectful of human rights.

The aim is gaining a greater understating and a shared view on how to address the challenges posed by digital technologies in order to broaden and strengthen citizen participation and to build effective, accountable and transparent democratic institutions.
