When:Fr 12-06-2026 16:15 - 17:00Where:Aula Academy Building, Broerstraat 5, Groningen

Is there something inherently algorithmic in how democracy functions? And can algorithms strengthen democratic practices by making them more inclusive, responsive, and legitimate? In this talk, I argue that the answer is yes, and show how methods from mathematics and computer science can play a pivotal role in renewing democracy in our societies.
