M100 SC 2023: Between Ambition and Disarray – The Future of Democracy

24 April 2023. On Thursday 14 September, the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium will take place for the 19th time in the Orangery of Sanssouci Palace. Under the title “Between Ambition and Disarray – The Future of Democracy”, we invite 60-70 representatives from politics, media and academia from all over Europe and beyond to a constructive, cross-sector discussion on the perspectives of a free, democratic Europe in the face of a new world order and the role of the media.

We want to discuss why, for the first time since 2004, there are more autocratic than democratic states in the world, the weaknesses but also the strengths of democracy, its future prospects and the role of the media. Read more about the concept here.
