Climate and Social Justice

In the future, climate and social policy must be two sides of the same European coin. Our Brussels-based Competence Centre Climate and Social Justice is working on advancing the Green and Just transition with our political, trade union and civil society partners as well as other think tanks.

Future of Work

The debate on the future of work goes beyond the context of digital transformation and touches various policy fields. The Competence Centre on the Future of Work, based in Brussels, is bringing together different actors to help shape a digital future that prioritises fairness for workers, quality jobs, and strong social protections.

Democracy of the Future

The work of our Competence Centre on the Democracy of the Future, based in Vienna, explores the dynamics between democracy, economy, and society. In collaboration with various researchers, we seek to find answers to antidemocratic movements, look at societal developments and encourage and promote democracy in the OSCE region.

Cooperation and Peace in Europe

The Regional Office for Cooperation and Peace in Europe operates in Vienna. It looks at the challenges of peace and security in Europe since the collapse of the Soviet Union and supports the development of new concepts in the spirit of solution-orientated policy.
