Crrc-Armenia

CRRC-Armenia is a regionally focused and Armenia-based independent, non-partisan research institution, where research lives. Established in 2003 as part of the CRRC regional network operating in the South Caucasus, CRRC-Armenia core mandate is to address national and regional socio-economic and political challenges via high-quality data collection, analysis, and enhancement of the scientific capacity of the research community. We are recognized nationally and internationally as a leading force in social science research and to influence policy making agenda in the country by setting the highest international standards in research and building a vibrant community of social scientists. On top of multi-method data collection and analysis, CRRC-Armenia also serves as a resource center, with open and freely available data, dozens of scientific papers, research reports, and policy briefs. Since its establishment, researchers engaged with CRRC-Armenia have been benefiting from the Foundation’s methodological trainings, local and international conferences, summer schools, and a library with more than contemporary publications in social sciences and humanities. With this, we strive to achieve excellence in social science research, promoting data and knowledge-based principles of democratic governance in Armenia (and beyond), applying advanced methodologies towards conducting high-quality research, and expanding the culture of transparent data gathering and peer-to-peer learning.
