RADAR combines research, practical tools and engagement to support democratic resilience. The work is organised in six connected areas.
Comparative research
We study how democratic systems change over time and how they respond to social, economic and information pressures, building a comparative knowledge base across the project pilot countries.
Public attitudes and communication
Through surveys and citizen panels, we test how different public messages are received and what supports trust and informed public participation.
Civic and institutional responses
We look at how civil society, culture, education and independent institutions contribute to trust, inclusion and accountability.
A transparent digital tool
We develop a transparent digital tool that helps users assess problematic online narratives, designed together with its future users and accompanied by responsible-use guidance.
Learning and exchange
Peer-learning exchanges, mentoring and trainings bring together civil society, journalists, educators and public authorities, supported by practical resources.
From research to policy
We evaluate the project’s activities, engage stakeholders and translate findings into useful guidance, policy recommendations and multilingual support materials.
Project coordination, quality assurance, ethics and data protection, and communication and dissemination run throughout the project.
