Making democracy work for everyone

on February 7, 2024

This year many elections are set to be held, but generational gaps, social and economic disparities can lead to inequality in the democratic process. How can we make democracy work for everyone?

 

This was the question that was explored at the Panel for the Future of Science and Technology’s (STOA) Annual Lecture on 24 January 2024. MEPs and researchers looked at innovative solutions that promote inclusion, and strengthen democracy.

 

 

 

Speakers were:

 

• Christian Ehler, MEP and STOA Chair;

 

• Michael Bruter, Professor of Political Science, ERC grantee, Director of the Electoral Psychology Observatory, London School of Economics and Political Science;

 

• Sylvia Kritzinger, Professor at the Department of Government of Vienna University;

 

• Barbara Prainsack, Chair of European Group on Ethics in Science and Technology;

 

• Yves Dejaeghere, Executive director of Federation for Innovation in Democracy - Europe
