Call for contributions

We are opening two tracks for selected contributions at the conference: the talks track and the demos track.
If you are an academic or a practitioner whose work is related to digital democracy, we invite you to submit a one-page description/abstract by March 1st March 9th, 2025 (AoE) to either of our tracks:

• Talks track: Selected talks will be given 15-20 minutes presentation time in the program.There will be no proceedings associated with the conference, so you are welcome to submit work that has been previously published by other conferences, journals, and so on.

• Demos track: Selected demos will take place in parallel during a dedicated session, where you will be given access to a table and internet connection (‘bring your own laptop’ setup). Participants of the conference will be able to freely join the different demos. 

We welcome contributions from both academics and practitioners on any of the following topics, in relation to digital democracy: online deliberation, liquid democracy, the public sphere, apps and tools for online decision-making, machine learning, crowdsourcing, the digital divide, participatory budgeting, computational social choice, digital identities, social media, popular will, cryptocurrencies & blockchain, secrecy vs. publicity of votes and opinions.
We particularly welcome submissions by students and early career scholars or practitioners.   

Contributions will be selected on the basis of their connection to EDDY’s goals, with an eye toward the conference’s multi-, cross-disciplinary target audience and the diversity of projects and contributors.
Depending on the number of submissions, some contributions may be selected for a poster presentation instead.
