Partnerships

The CEES engages in partnerships with select institutions inside and outside of the University of Zurich for collaboration on concrete long-term projects. The CEES is currently engaged in partnerships with five institutions:

The Center for Security Studies (CSS) at ETH Zurich is a strategic partner of the CEES. The two institutes work together on a number of topics and jointly organize events and publication series, including Russian Analytical Digest and Caucasus Analytical Digest.

The Doctoral Programme Democracy Studies at UZH supports the study of diverse and multifaceted qualitative and quantitative approaches to the phenomenon of democracy and its manifestations. Each semester Democracy Studies organizes activities with a specific focus on the topic of democracy open to all CEES and UZH students and offers an integrated curriculum to graduate candidates aiming to acquire solid and transdisciplinary training with modules on the theory, methods, and empirical approaches to democracy.

Forum RGOW – Religion & Society in East and West provides knowledge about Eastern Europe and supports socially disadvantaged groups and individuals in the region. Once a year, the CEES and the Forum RGOW jointly organize a public event on current developments in Eastern Europe at the University of Zurich.

 The CEES cooperates with the Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (IERES) at George Washington University, with which it co-edits the online magazine Russian Analytical Digest.

The CEES collaborates with the Research Center for East European Studies (FSO) at the University of Bremen on two English-language country studies (Russian Analytical Digest and Caucasus Analytical Digest).
