The Official Opening of DIPD

The Danish Institute for Parties and Democracy (DIPD) was established by an Act of the Danish Parliament (Folketinget) on 26 May 2010.

A Board representing all the political parties in Folketinget, different parts of Danish civil society and the international community started work in September 2010. A Director and staff was recruited in January 2011.

Now the Institute is ready to deliver on the mandate it has been given by Folketinget.

On the occasion of the official opening, the Institute will also present its Strategy for 2011-13: “Political Parties in a Democractic Culture”; the DIPD website will be launched; and the Chairman will announce the first activities of the Institute.
