The European Union Democracy Observatory (EUDO) is an independent and interdisciplinary academic organisation whose goal is to produce a permanent and periodic assessment of democratic practices within the EU.
It is a forum where ideas and good practices can be exchanged, and a resource for policy-makers, academics and EU citizens.
EUDO is a fully-integrated part of the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS) and was launched in 2006. It is currently being reorganized and the new set-up will be implemented in 2009.
