Antoine Vergne is the Co-Director of Missions Publiques. He holds a dual PhD from Freie Universität Berlin and Science Po Paris on the theory and practices of sortition in politics. He has been working since 2004 on improving democratic processes with the help of sortition based methods, at all scales of governance. Antoine’s research interests span across a large spectrum, from decentralized governance to tech-enhanced deliberations. Since 2017, Antoine has been coordinating coalitions of private, public, and civil society actors to bring sortition, and citizen voices at the table of global UN negotiations, first with the World Wide Views on Climate, and then with We The Internet.
