ABOUT THE INSTITUTE FOR DEMOCRACY AT UMB
We are a transdisciplinary community of scholars and civil society leaders, dedicated to solving contemporary challenges of democracy. UMB‘s Institute for Democracy has its roots in the university’s post-communist development and the rapid institutional response to the rise of a neo-Nazi movement that swept the 2013 regional elections in the university’s home of the Banská Bystrica region, historically a center of anti-Nazi movement in Slovakia. UMB academics worked together with civic organizations and local activists and set up successful initiatives aimed at countering this threat. The resulting tight-knit collaboration with local communities and Slovakia’s civic sector produced a significant pool of talent in defending democracy and was formally institutionalized in the Institute for Democracy.
ABOUT BRRIDGE
BRRIDGE, is an Horizon Europe funded project that aims to strengthen research capacities in the field of democracy and policy, and contribute to a deeper understanding of the current democratic disconnect that stems from changes in technologies, inequalities, culture and governance.
