SOS4democracy : SOCIAL SCIENCES FOR DEMOCRACY: A TRAINING PROGRAM FOR IMPROVING RESEARCH ON ILLIBERAL SYSTEMS AND FINDING WAYS TO BUILD MORE ROBUST DEMOCRACIES (EUAR150)
The turn to illiberalism, often combined with anti-European rhetoric, represents a serious threat to the European Union. With most

and higher-education institutions, civil society associations, and a private news media organization to develop effective training programs
for enhancing research on the recent turn to authoritarian systems in South-Eastern Europe. In line with the working program, the project
will pursue three major objectives
