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]]. | |||
