Abstract

In this study we recruit citizens for a citizen assembly in Austria using different methods of invitation. The aim is to address and encourage subjects who are feel politically disenfrenchised to participate. To do so, we vary crucial texts in the invitation letter. In this citizen assembly that will take place in autumn 2023, measures for coping with future crises will be developed by participants, moderated by professional moderators. The citizens' councils were initiated by the federal government to deal with the Corona pandemic and are scientifically accompanied by ÖAW and IHS. About 360 citizens will selct themself to come to the site. The sample of subjects invited will be stratified randomly selected by Statistik Austria and invited to one-day, moderated discussion rounds in the nine federal states. In each province the 40 citizens will spend the day in an iterative mix of plenary input and and discussion rounds in small groups of about 7 persons. We will call the discussion round *assembly*.
