Eteron Institute

What are we? Eteron - Institute for Research and Social Change is a non-profit organisation that produces knowledge, contributes towards citizen empowerment and promotes partnerships. We strive to strengthen arguments, ideas, people and organisations, in order to reach a society, in which the actual needs of the people will be at the center of the public debate. A step towards a world where the happiness and prosperity of all has equal value. What do we do?* Research Knowledge is power. We produce knowledge in the form of credible research, analysis, articles and public events. We substantiate arguments, question the obvious and trust the researchers. We promote policy proposals pushing for justice, inclusion and sustainability.* Empowerment Power increases when one shares it. We try using innovative communication channels in order to render the “hard meanings” more accessible. We share methods and tools that allow us to develop different skills. We create foundations and platforms to spread knowledge.*Networking Collective power can change the world. We build partnerships formed on the basis of respect, dedication in common core values and openness. We create spaces of encounter and dialogue. We become a collaborations’ hub among research institutions abroad, bringing the international discussion in Greece and promoting the discussion regarding Greece abroad- We listen before speaking. We think before acting. We include before suggesting. …or at least, we try.
