Dear all, 

We are delighted to announce that registration to the 2nd edition of our conference "Digital Democracy: Bridging Theory and Practice" (EDDY-2025), taking place on June 12th and 13th in Paris and organized by the EDDY network, is now officially open for general participants. You can find here below all the relevant information to register. 

Please note that registration is free but mandatory. 

Should you have any questions, please write to both me (<arianna.novaro@univ-paris1.fr>) and Frederik Van De Putte (<vandeputte@esphil.eur.nl>) to maximise your chances of a quick reply. :-)

When is the deadline for registration?
On Friday May 30th, 2025, or upon reaching the maximum capacity limit.

What is included in the registration?
Access to the EDDY-2025 conference for both days (June 12 and 13), coffee breaks, and the welcome cocktail on June 12. 
Please note that the lunches for both days (June 12 and 13) are not included. 
There are however numerous restaurants and bistrots around the venue where you will be able to get lunch easily.

How can I register? 
You have to fill the form on the registration page of the EDDY-2025 website (you will be asked to create or login with a SciencesConf account). In order to have as accurate an estimate as possible for the catering service, to avoid food waste, we kindly ask you to let us know on which days you plan to attend.
You can also let us know if you have any kind of needs that we should take into account, e.g., regarding dietary restrictions.
Note that the welcome cocktail will be vegetarian.

Looking forward to seeing many of you at the conference! 

All the best,
Arianna & Frederik, on behalf of the EDDY core committee
