Mission & Goals
We are a think-tank founded in 2006 at the Faculty of Political Science at Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj, Romania. The Center engages in research projects and analyses from a comparative perspective with a solid practical component on issues such as democratization, migration, ethnicity, civic education, electoral behaviour, and institutional design. Our collaborations reach institutions such as the Presidential Administration, the Romanian Parliament, local administrative institutions and organizations within civil society. We are also engaged in European Horizons, activities with partners like EUKI, EPAH, European Climate Foundation, Oko Institute etc. Our goals include infusing civil society with education on overcoming energy poverty, accessing human rights and good political decisions, but also infusing policymakers and relevant national & international stakeholders with policy recommendations on those matters.
