The Knowledge Network on Climate Assemblies (KNOCA) aims to improve the commissioning, design, implementation and impact of climate assemblies, using evidence, knowledge exchange and dialogue. We are an active community of policy makers, practitioners, activists, researchers and other actors with experience and interest in climate assemblies who co-create activities and knowledge.
FIDE Forum 2026: From Novel to Normal

FIDE is bringing together practitioners, public officials, political parties, NGOs, and funders in Vienna on 18 and 19 November for FIDE Forum 2026, a conference dedicated to moving deliberative democracy from the margins to the mainstream.
More than 1,000 deliberative processes and 80,000 citizens have already shaped real decisions on constitutional reform, national legislation, and public spending. The evidence exists. FIDE Forum 2026 is about building the infrastructure, lifting the standards, and creating the political will to make deliberation permanent, not an experiment.
Registration is open until October 30. Calls for workshops and training sessions close August 28.
