The Dialogue theme focuses on how digitalization can both strengthen and challenge democratic discourse. On the one hand, digital platforms have provided better opportunities for communication and knowledge-sharing. On the other hand, debates risk becoming polarized, locked in trench warfare, where a joint exploration of problems, opportunities, and perspectives fails to emerge.

This theme includes research projects that explore how research-based methods and technologies can support and strengthen democratic dialogue in the digital age. You can read more about these projects below.
