Research Projects

Founded in 2001, the Centre de recherche en science politique (CReSPo) has expanded and diversified its areas of research since its inception, with the arrival of new researchers and the securing of new sources of funding from the FNRS, among others.

Initially specialized in the analysis of public action, CReSPo is now recognized for the quality of its work in various fields:

  • Public Action and Democracy
  • Social Policy and Social Law
  • Political Communities, Identities and Borders
  • The role of the state in post-conflict situations
  • International negotiations and environmental policies
  • Gender and politics

CReSPo Seminars

The CReSPo Seminar provides an informal and friendly meeting space throughout the year, allowing for the presentation of work-in-progress articles, books, methodological questions, and interactions with members of civil society.
