Our goals and services

Our goal is to provide academics, governments, international organisations and NGOs with information for research and evidence-based evaluation of public policies.

We do not offer information or counselling to individuals interested in acquiring the citizenship of a particular country and we do not encourage experts in our network to answer such requests.

The EUDO CITIZENSHIP website is unique in combining extensive and up to date data on citizenship in the EU, intelligent analysis of all legal and political aspects of citizenship and breaking news on the subject. At last, the issue of trans-European citizenship has truly come alive for the benefit of us all.
