On 29-30 March 2012, 60 people gathered in Brussels in a workshop to kick-off a process of visioning how Europe may look in 2050.
Introduction
The European Commission's Directorate- General for Information Society and Media (DG INFSO) is organising a series of events in the context of "Digital Futures", a visioning project to prepare DG INFSO for reflections on ICT policies beyond 2020. The exercise is designed to be highly participatory, incrementally drawing in people through both face-to-face and online engagement around a collective inquiry into the future.
This report gives an overview of the messages emerged during the first workshop that took place on 29-30 March in Brussels, the format of the event, the experience of the participants, as well as the next steps. A comprehensive report on the visions and trends contributed by the participants will be released in May 2012.




On 29-30 March 2012, [[Yiannis Laouris]] joined a group of 60 people gathered in Brussels in a workshop to kick-off a process of visioning how Europe may look in 2050. The European Commission's Directorate- General for Information Society and Media (DG INFSO), [[Digital Futures Task Force]] organised a series of events in the context of "Digital Futures", a visioning project to prepare DG INFSO for reflections on ICT policies beyond 2020. The exercise is designed to be highly participatory, incrementally drawing in people through both face-to-face and online engagement around a collective inquiry into the future.

The relevant finding for  [[Future Worlds Center]] is in the table Annex 10 on page 45, where the factor "new models of democracy" received votes as "top desirable" but in the like hood category received no votes at all.

This finding underlines the significance of doing research and supporting the development, testing and application of new models of democracy. This is also the subject of the [[Co-laboratories of Democracy: Best Choices for Designing Sustainable Futures]] chapter by [[Yiannis Laouris]], [[Kevin Dye]], [[Marios Michaelides]] and [[Aleco Christakis]].


Building on this workshop, the [[Future Worlds Center]] teamed up with  [[Digital Futures Task Force]] and co-organized the [[Reinventing Democracy in the Digital-Era|Reinventing Democracy in the Digital Era (2012)]] SDDP. This led to a series of related activities summarized in [[Reinventing Democracy]].
