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
