Research, build, and scale the future of democracy.

Fellows: Register here to be notified when applications open.

Our vision is simple: We need strong democratic institutions to protect our rights and liberties. We need responsive democratic institutions to empower people to make things better when we see the need and opportunity to do so. We need fast democratic institutions to uplift technological progress while reducing risk of misuse and harm. Yet, democratic institutions worldwide are under acute and accelerating pressure. AI dramatically expands the capacity of power-seeking actors, slows decision-making under uncertainty, and our democratic institutions are struggling to keep up with technological development. The stakes are high. There is much to do.

We are here to get things done and to inspire impact-minded doers to give this cause a chance.

CORDA brings together researchers, builders, and practitioners to think up, build, and implement the change necessary for an era of not just democratic resilience but thriving. This international fellowship is designed as a fast-track into impactful roles while accelerating the most impactful work in the field.
