This is a one-day public forum organised as a collaboration between the two BrIAS programmes: Sustainable Robotics and Democratic Governance. Through this forum they aim to foster conversations and promote close collaborations among key stakeholders who are closely connected to the theme of democratic governance, with the goal to collectively think of democratic challenges in practice.

With focus on five key areas:

• Polarization, populism, and violence

• Democratic short-termism and sustainability 

• Technology, misinformation, and AI 

• Inequality and inclusion

• Democratic Innovations

Beyond these areas, they pay specific attention to the role of cities and art in democratic resilience.

To this end, they bring academics, members of civil society organizations and public administrations together to: 

• Discuss the main challenges to democratic governance

• Raise the big questions that need to be addressed

• Strengthen the link between academic and stakeholders’ knowledge
