Organizational Status: Independent NGO, founded in 1991.

General Description:

CASE focuses on the European integration; the transition process in Central Europe, Eastern Europe, the Transcaucasus, and Central Asia; and the global economy. CASE works in the areas of macroeconomic and monetary policy, relations between the EU and its "eastern neighbourhood," labour markets and social policy, innovation and competitiveness, and institution-building and poverty reduction. As an important regional center, CASE replicates its knowledge and experience through the creation of daughter organizations, thus helping to create a network of independent research institutes across post-communist countries. CASE is also the co-founder of regional networks of think tanks and other organizations. CASE's activities focus on conducting policy research and advisory projects, disseminating research results and economic knowledge, providing public education, and training. Advisory activities cover the following areas: complex economic advisory projects, short-term advisory missions, technical assistance, and evaluation projects. CASE also organizes workshops, seminars, and study tours, and its interdisciplinary projects, which take theoretical problems and propose concrete solutions in the areas of economic and social policy and are aimed at actual practitioners, form the unique character of its research work.
