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.

"This website is an indispensable source of a wealth of information and ideas for both people working on practical issues of citizenship and nationality and for those engaged in research in the area. Since the twin purposes which it serves are here to stay for the foreseeable future, its continuation is equally vital"
Elizabeth Meehan, Queen's University Belfast

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.

EUDO Citizenship Indicators

Systematic comparison of citizenship across a large number of countries requires condensing qualitative information into indicators that can be used for quantitative analysis. The wealth of data collected by EUDO CITIZENSHIP allows a much more fine-grained analysis of legal provisions, administrative procedures, statistical developments and integration effects of citizenship acquisition than previously possible. For each of these goals EUDO CITIZENSHIP constructs separate sets of indicators:

Citizenship Law Indicators (CITLAW)

Citizenship Law Indicators describe and compare characteristic aspects of citizenship laws across countries and over time    

Implementation Indicators (CITIMP)

Citizenship Implementation Indicators compare the formal aspects of naturalisation procedures

Acquisition Indicators (CITACQ)

Citizenship Acquisition Indicators use statistical information about naturalisation for analysing the impact of laws and policies on acquisition rates    

Integration Indicators (CITINT)

Citizenship Integration Indicators use survey data for measuring the effect of citizenship acquisition on immigrant integration
