In their own words
“We believe that a strong democracy governed by the rule of law is a prerequisite for living together in freedom and equality. The power of technology should be in the hands of the people who strive for this. We work through research, movement building, campaigning, advocacy and legal action in the Netherlands and the EU. We are a Dutch foundation…”
