Democratic Soceity

DemSoc
Brussels, Belgium

This organisation may not be a traditional think tank. We have included it in this list as we deem it to be a 'boundary' organisation – in other words, it might have some qualities or characterstics of a think tank.

Democratic Society is a network of individuals committed to building a 21st-century democracy. Founded in 2006, it delivers practical projects, conducts research, and develops democratic structures to empower public participation. Its first project launched in Brighton in 2010, following four years of online development. As part of global democracy innovation groups like Democracy Research and Development, it collaborates with democracy organisations, civil society, and others to create open, inclusive networks. Based in Brussels, with offices across Europe, it champions openness, equality, fairness, and internationalism, ensuring citizens' voices are heard from local to European levels.
