We work with democratic practitioners, facilitators, process convenors, researchers, tool builders, funders, and governments to work towards an ecosystem that can support high-quality democratic systems + decision processes.
Process Pattern Language and Deliberative Workflows In collaboration with others, we're developing a standardized pattern language for the design and execution of collective decision-making processes, to help knowledge about best practice accumulate and transfer across contexts.
Research Directions: AI for Deliberative Democracy We're developing a set of open research questions that direct new AI capabilities at existing challenges in deliberative democracy, such as scenario testing, multi-modal learning, and facilitator information management.
Deliberative Tools Access Program We support access to deliberative tools for organizations and independent researchers to experiment, learn, and develop a progressively more robust ecosystem of deliberative tools.
Facilitator Resource Sharing Groups We coordinate groups of world-class deliberation facilitators and practitioners to enable resource sharing, practice experimentation, and research scoping.
