ADDI: Advancing Digital Democratic Innovation
Developing and testing algorithms and platforms supporting deliberative assemblies and participatory processes

The project
ADDI is an ERC Synergy Project funded by the European Union.
Its goal is to study digitally augmented forms of civic participation through three core objectives:

#1
Designing technologies and procedures for citizen deliberation and participation

#2
Experimentally testing the impact of technology in deliberative and participatory forums

#3
Understanding the preferences expressed in digitally augmented forms of civic participation
At the end of the project we hope to have a better understanding of how digital technologies can improve democratic practices while providing a robust suite of scientifically validated open-source tools.
The team
The ADDI research team operates across four universities situated in three European countries: Toulouse in southern France, Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and Turku in Finland. Their expertise spans democratic theory, the empirical study of preferences, artificial intelligence, and social choice.
