REDEMOS – TOWARDS A SUSTAINED DEMOS IN THE EU'S EASTERN NEIGHBOURHOOD

Welcome to the REDEMOS project!

Reconfiguring EU Democracy Support. Towards A Sustained Demos In The EU'S Eastern Neighbourhood. REDEMOS brings together a consortium of eleven research-oriented and academic institutions, including six universities, four independent think tanks, and one small and medium-sized enterprise from all across Europe, to address the fragile state of democracy in Eastern Europe and provide ways forward for EU democracy support in its eastern neighbourhood. The project aims to break new ground and propose a wholesale, transformative reset in conceptualizing, policy-making, and implementing democracy in the EU's eastern neighbourhood.

What we do

The REDEMOS project conducts comprehensive research on the state of democracy in the EU's eastern neighbourhood, and develops policy recommendations for the EU to become a genuinely effective and impactful democracy champion in the region.

What we aim for

Our goal is to understand and address the main challenges to democracy in the EU's eastern neighbourhood, and to provide ways forward for EU democracy support in the region.

Our expectations

We expect to generate an alternative vision for EU democracy collaboration in the eastern neighbourhood, based on active, deliberative approaches, and to inform policy-making at the EU level. We aim to develop an innovative policy toolkit enabling the EU to contribute to lasting democratic change and greater resilience in its neighbourhood.
