DAOs are a rapidly growing phenomena, and the importance of these new organizational structures is only going to increase over the next years with the further adoption of blockchain technology. Research on how to build more inclusive and democratic systems representing cooperative values needs more consideration and DAWO is a testbed for continues conversation.

The 2-day workshop brings together researchers examining the potential of DAOs, leveraging a culture of participation to fosters innovation and knowledge transfer between academics to advance DAO as a new organizational structure. We expect that the workshop yields a variety of novel research opportunities, which will set a basis for continuous collaboration among participants of the workshop.


Join us for the Third European DAO Workshop in Winterthur 2026 (DAWO26) to shape the discussion and collaboration.
