Amid its complete projects are "The User Potential of AI and Distributed Ledger Technology in Public Administration", done in conjunction with the Tallinn University of Technology and commissioned by the Office of Technology Assessment at the German Bundestag.[4] Other works on digitalization of government include surveys with federal, state and local authorities[5] and managers of German administrations, the latter done in collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group. [6][7][8] The Centre also has other ongoing projects about the Digital Services Act,[9] responsible artificial intelligence[10] and Europe's Artifical Intelligence Act.[11]

Members of the core faculty and associated researchers have contributed to articles in American technology magazine Wired[12] and German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine.[13]

Besides the faculty's publications and projects, the Centre for Digital Governance also houses a blog[14] and a student working paper series.[15]
