UMB academics worked together with civic organizations and local activists and set up successful initiatives aimed at countering this threat.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The resulting tight-knit collaboration with local communities and Slovakia\u2019s civic sector produced a significant pool of talent in defending democracy and was in 2022 formally institutionalized in the Institute for Democracy (NGO). In 2024, a twin of IfD was established as a university-wide research center at Matej Bel University. The two institutes are now jointly working under the same Institute for Democracy umbrella name.<\/h4>\n<p>[\/lab_scroll_box][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; full_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; columns_placement=&#8221;top&#8221; parallax=&#8221;content-moving-fade&#8221; parallax_image=&#8221;5469&#8243;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][lab_text_autotype typed_text=&#8221; *A spark in the darkness * &#8220;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8221;][lab_scroll_box] UMB\u2018s Institute for Democracy has its roots in the university\u2019s 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\u2019s home of the Bansk\u00e1 Bystrica region,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5324","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demokracia.umb.sk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demokracia.umb.sk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demokracia.umb.sk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demokracia.umb.sk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demokracia.umb.sk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5324"}],"version-history":[{"count":23,"href":"https:\/\/demokracia.umb.sk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5324\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6422,"href":"https:\/\/demokracia.umb.sk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5324\/revisions\/6422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demokracia.umb.sk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
