Technological, scientific, and social progress has created opportunities that our society is too slow to seize.
So we develop systemic technological solutions, and we raise awareness and support diverse groups in seizing the opportunities of the 21st century.
What we build
A voting system for organizations, not the state.
An open-source system and platform for secret, lawful, and simple voting across all kinds of private democratic organizations. The system addresses the lack of a professionally developed solution, while the platform makes it possible to run e-elections regardless of a team's technical expertise.
Next arrivals of Ljubljana's buses
A free web and mobile app showing the arrivals of Ljubljana's buses, optimized for quick use, older devices, and devices with limited capabilities. It is an open-source volunteer project built on LPP's open data — an example of a simple digital solution for residents' everyday needs.
A register of public office holders
An open and free register of public office holders in Slovenia — from mayors and members of parliament to ministers and agency directors. Every data point cites its source and is also available in machine-readable form via an API and CSV files.
Petitions that carry weight
A platform for easily publishing high-quality petitions with digital signing. Organizers will have every tool they need to run a successful petition, entirely free of charge.
Our approach
The institute brings together experts from different professions with the goal of achieving tangible results that justify the time, energy, and resources invested.
As a result, projects are run:
Every project is broken down into the smallest steps that are still worthwhile and self-sufficient.
A project's success does not depend on the projects planned after it.
We don't start new projects until the previous ones are finished. Planning is conservative (the planned workload must be noticeably lower than the real capacity) and without fixed deadlines that would place unnecessary stress on a motivated but volunteer team.
Projects are chosen on the "low hanging fruit" principle: small scope and speed/low complexity of delivery matter more than the scale or importance of their impact.
A project begins only once the team already has all the necessary expertise as well as the human, financial, and material resources in place.
