Innocracy 2021

The theme of Innocracy 2021 was Democratising Democracy. Explore the content of last year’s conference on this page.

The aim of Innocracy 2021 was to to identify fields which are excluded or are being removed from democratic control and explore whether and how (re-)democratising them could lead to a better future.
