Dark Pattern Detection Project (Dapde)
Manipulative interfaces are pervasive on the Internet, particularly in the domain of online shopping. Consumers are persistently confronted with mechanisms that are designed to influence them to make hasty (purchasing) decisions that are incongruent with their interests or even contradictory. Furthermore, examples of dark patterns include subscription traps, trick questions and bait-and-switch tactics. In addition to legal solutions, the project has also developed technical support for consumers. The prototype, currently known as the 'Dark Pattern Blocker', has been developed by a cooperation partner at the University of Heidelberg. It functions similarly to an ad blocker, identifying and neutralising dark patterns. The prototype can recognise and flag specific dark patterns, highlight them for the user, and provide an explanation of their impact. The DaPDE team at the National Institute for Public Administration Germany is examining the technical aspects to ensure they align with legal standards.

Evaluation of the 'Citizens dialogue on the electricity grid - Project phase from 2020' service contract ('Initiative Bürgerdialog Stromnetz - Projektphase ab 2020')
The 'Citizens dialogue on the electricity grid' (BDS) is an initiative that has been funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (Bundeswirtschaftsministerium - BMWi) since 2015. As a neutral actor in the expansion of the electricity grid, the initiative aims to facilitate an open and transparent exchange between all stakeholders.

The National Institute for Public Administration Germany conducted an evaluation of the first funding period, which ran from December 2015 to December 2019. In addition, the BMWi commissioned the National Institute for Public Administration Germany to evaluate the second funding phase, which will start in 2020. This evaluation used a range of social research techniques to assess the initiative as a whole and the specific measures implemented.
