The CEU Democracy Institute examines and seeks solutions to the challenges democracy faces across the globe today. It builds on the 30-year legacy of world-class research, teaching and outreach in the spirit of democracy and freedom achieved by Central European University, a private university that is transatlantic by nature — rooted in American and European traditions of higher learning.
The Institute is based in Budapest, on the frontlines of the battle to protect the rule of law and enable open society to flourish. At the same time, as part of the CEU network it is global from its inception. Its prominent researchers and top-notch facilities enable it to attract high-caliber thinkers, become a key convener of free debate and dialogue across disciplines and professions, and host collaboration that aims to create new knowledge and propose solutions to ensure the sustainability and success of democracies worldwide.
