• fostering cooperation between academia, the public sector, NGOs, and journalists;
• promoting interdisciplinary approaches and facilitating the exchange of methodologies across fields such as political science, law, economics, public administration, sociology, communications, and computer science;
• supporting and promoting the work of early-career researchers;
