In the aftermath of a preparatory meeting in Vienna before Easter 2017 and the respective workshop at the IS4SI Summit Gothenburg 2017, ten members of the Emergent Systems Group met at HTW, the Berlin University of Applied Sciences, 21-22 September 2017. They discussed how populism is reinforced, and how it could be fought, by the use of social media.

That gathering was initiated by Rainer E. Zimmermann and Frank Fuchs-Kittowski in co-operation with the Institute für Design Science München, the Bertalanffy Center, and the Leibniz-Sozietät der Wissenschaften zu Berlin.
