CEU Research Centers

Through its 18 research centers, CEU promotes an environment where high-quality research can take place, where readiness for intellectual risk-taking and for radical rethinking of foundations is strongly encouraged, and where values of open society, democracy and critical, reflective thinking are cultivated.

CEU Research Centers complement research and teaching activities in CEU Departments, enhancing interdisciplinary connections among different academic areas and interfacing academic and policy-relevant activities. The Centers support CEU’s mission by raising the university’s international visibility and deepening its regional embeddedness. Building international partnerships with research institutes, corporations, NGOs and governmental agencies, CEU Research Centers operate large-scale research projects, organize outstanding public events, workshops and conferences, as well as offer fellowships in their respective Research Areas.
