Invitation to participate in the Futures of Digital Democracy Survey (FDDS)
Hello,
We want to invite you to participate in an expert survey that addresses
a key political topic of our time: the future of democracy in the
digital age and the rise of authoritarianism.
The EU research project INNOVADE: Innovative Democracy through
Digitalisation https://innovade-democracy.eu/ studies digital democracy.
Paderborn University’s INNOVADE research team (led by Christian Fuchs)
runs the Futures of Digital Democracy Survey (FDDS):

Particiation will take about five minutes.
The goal of the survey is to analyse how digital media experts assess
the potential futures of digital society and the Internet and what
visions they have for these futures.
INNOVADE will use the results of the survey as inputs to European Union
policy debates on the future of democracy (that is currently being
discussed as part of the European Democracy Shield’s goal to strengthen
the EU’s democratic resilience, digital autonomy/sovereignty from big
tech, etc.).
The survey has two rounds. In the first round, we ask for basic
assessments. In a follow-up round, we report some of the first round
results to the participants and ask for further assessments. After the
survey’s second round is completed, all data will be published
anonymously as an open data set.
We’d be happy if you were able to participate. The first round is open
until 23 February 2026. The second round will take place some time in
March or April.
