The Democracy Center Vienna is an independent scientific institution with tasks in democracy research and democracy education. Our empirical and theoretical research serves scientific knowledge, the democratic political discourse and the transfer into educational programs.

Democracy is an open and dynamic process and must always be renegotiated in social and political cooperation. As a continuous learning and shaping process, democracy requires conscious and active further development by those involved. As a form of government, society and life, democracy is the starting point and objective of our activities.
