Data are at the center of everything we do: shopping, dating and even voting. This changes society at a rapid pace. How do governments, companies and citizens cope with this change? And how can we give direction for the future? Thursday 15 November 2018 the Rathenau Instituut hosts a debate on democracy in the data society.
