Congress 2076

The purpose of Congress 2076 is twofold: to envision the transformative possibilities for a future Congress that is responsive, effective, and truly representative, and to use these long-term visions to illuminate our path forward in the near term. Your participation offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a seminal report that will not only serve as a reference for future thinkers and policymakers but might also open new ways of thinking about your current work.

We recognize the premium on your time and expertise. Thus, we're inviting submissions that are succinct yet powerful. Whether through a thought-provoking blog post, a visually engaging slide deck, or any format that best conveys your idea, we encourage you to share your vision in a way that's both compelling and concise, with a word limit of 2500 for written content.

Selections will be evaluated on the following criteria:

• Originality and Innovation

• Relevance and Application

• Feasibility and Practicality

• Potential for Impact

• Clarity and Coherence

• Relevance across scenarios

Please feel free to refer to the Democracy 2076 scenarios and projections in your submission. You are welcome (and even encouraged!) to submit ideas that you think will be critical in some but not all scenarios.

Selected ideas will be included in the final report, and selected authors will be invited to participate in the June Democracy 2076 convening. Submission deadline is April 22, 2024.
