On the 21st and 22nd of September, the online general assembly of all partners of the research project Embrace took place. During the two-day meeting, the progress of the project and its objectives were discussed by the work package leaders and next steps in relation to future deliverables were planned.

The research project EMBRACE aims to respond to the counter-democracy trends after the coloured revolutions and the Arab Spring. It does so through an inter-disciplinary, multi-method and cross-regional assessment of both blockages to and drivers of democratisation in 12 case study countries across Eastern Europe, Southern Caucasus, Western Balkans, Northern Africa and the Middle East.
