Disruption Network Lab needs you - help fund Exposing Systems of Power & Injustice!

For the past ten years, the Disruption Network Lab has organised over 30 conferences, accessible to global audiences and local communities, bringing together urgent topics, diverse points of view and in-depth knowledge from around the world.

This year our conferences have tackled Smart Prisons, Artivism & Organised Crime – and we launched the Disruption Network Institute to investigate the Kill Cloud, and the future of AI & warfare.

However, in a time of recession, political polarisation and wars, funding critical events and research is getting harder. We believe our work has become all the more important given current human rights emergencies, the continuous rise of populism and technological acceleration in a post-truth era.

We need your help

Now we need your support to ensure that critical debate and exchange continues to have a space in the city of Berlin and globally.
