We are pleased to announce that CELSI is part of INDEMTRUST (Inequality and Democracy in Europe: Trust, Participation, and Resilience), a new 3-year Horizon Europe research project exploring how economic inequalities influence trust in institutions, democratic attitudes and political participation across Europe.

INDEMTRUST examines inequality not only through objective economic conditions, but also through how people experience and perceive inequality, fairness and social mobility - including in the workplace and in their communities.

The project brings together interdisciplinary research on labour markets, social and institutional trust, political mobilisation, perceived inequality and democratic participation, combining quantitative analysis and experiments with qualitative research, participatory action research, Mutual Learning Labs and agent-based modelling.

CELSI will be coordinating work on citizen engagement, policy co-creation, dissemination and communication. CELSI will also contribute research on marginalised communities, including Roma communities, and on narratives of inequality.

Through collaboration between researchers, citizens, civil society organisations and policymakers, INDEMTRUST aims to translate new evidence on inequality and democracy into policy tools and recommendations that can contribute to stronger, more inclusive and resilient democracies in Europe.

The project consortium brings together Central European University (Coordinator), Università Politecnica delle Marche, CELSI, Masaryk University, Örebro University, Fraunhofer ISI, Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER), and Sapienza University of Rome.

We look forward to contributing to this important European research effort and sharing its findings and activities over the coming years.
