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.

Project Info: About the Consortium and Network

EUDO CITIZENSHIP is an observatory within the European Union Observatory on Democracy (EUDO) web platform hosted at the Robert Schuman Centre of the European University Institute in Florence.

The Consortium in charge of the EUDO CITIZENSHIP observatory involves five partner institutions:

EUDO CITIZENSHIP is supported and internally evaluated by an Advisory Board.

For the period January 2009 – June 2010, EUDO CITIZENSHIP has been mainly financed by the EUCITAC project funded by the European Fund for the Integration of Third Country Nationals (Directorate General for Freedom, Security and Justice of the European Commission).

EUDO CITIZENSHIP builds on earlier and parallel projects analyzing citizenship laws and policies in Europe, both in old and new member states of the EU.

EUDO CITIZENSHIP was launched in the January 2009 conference in Florence.
