Are you working on digital tools to improve democratic participation? The European Commission invites you to apply to the EU Civic Tech Hackathon (22–23 June 2026).

  • Event | 22 Jun 2026
Participatory and Deliberative Democracy EU Civic Tech Hub

The European Commission invites civic tech developers, designers, researchers, civil society organisations and civic innovators from across Europe to register to the EU Civic Tech Hackathon (22–23 June 2026) until 5 June 2026, and take part in this initiative supporting democratic participation through innovative digital tools.

Held in connection with the High-Level Event on Democracy (24 June 2026), the hackathon contributes to the European Democracy Shield, which highlights the importance of strengthening democratic resilience and enhancing citizen engagement across the Union. In this context, civic tech is recognised as a key means to complement in-person participation, broaden outreach and support more transparent, inclusive and effective democratic processes.

Registrations are now closed.
