Membership

The association is 100 percent owner of Dezentrum GmbH. These are two distinct entities: The association can be understood as a community, while the GmbH is an official legal entity with employed staff who are compensated. As a member of the association, you are legally a co-owner of Dezentrum and actively shape the digital future. You can also actively participate in the association's events. Do you have special expertise that you'd like to share with other members? Then let's organize a joint workshop, and you'll receive your next annual membership fee for free. As a member, you'll also stay informed through newsletters, Signal chat, and our website.

Digitalsalat Podcast

Digitalsalat Podcast

Digitalsalat Podcast

Digitalization can and will change all of our lives profoundly. The only question that remains is how. In our podcast "Digitalsalat" we try to answer this question and come up with not only probable but also desirable answers. On an ongoing basis, we get exciting guests in front of the microphone and dive with them into a wide variety of topics at the intersection of technology and society. The podcast is a collaboration between Dezentrum and Mercator Foundation Switzerland.
