The scientific project

The superimposition of climate, political, economic and social crises requires us to find ways of democratically thinking about a sustainable future. Recent scientific (through the #DemocratizingWork network) and political developments on a European scale underline the challenge of democratizing work to achieve this.

Our contribution: to design a measure of democracy on the scale of organizations: the IDO (Index of Democracy in Organizations).
