The Council of Europe is looking for partners to bring added value to its work in the field of Schools of Political Studies. As a School of Political Studies you are a prestigious national or regional body running annual series of seminars and conferences for dynamic and enterprising young leaders on topics such as democracy, human rights, the rule of law, European integration and global affairs, assisted by national and international experts well-known in their field.
If you feel your organisation has the appropriate skills, know-how and experience for running such a school, the Council of Europe would like to hear from you. Successful projects will be co-funded from 1 February 2026 until 30 November 2028. All interested organisations should submit their proposals by 5 December 2025.
The Schools of Political Studies network was set up in the early nineties by a group of civil society activists seeking to promote democratic values. Today it is a network which covers the whole of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe and the Caucasus, as well as some countries in the Southern Mediterranean region.
