Because is dedicated to advancing education and research at the intersection of causal analysis and institutional studies.

Our mission is to cultivate a deep understanding of the interplay of agency and structure in governments and public policy through cutting-edge research and comprehensive educational initiatives.

We develop training events and research materials that equip students, researchers, and professionals with the skills and knowledge necessary to conduct high-level causal analyses of institutions’ role in shaping political and policy outcomes.

Through workshops, seminars, and collaborative projects, Because actively fosters an environment of intellectual growth and interdisciplinary collaboration and provides top-tier opportunities that empower the next generation of institutional scholars and practitioners.

Because is part of the CMDhub — a project funded under the MUR “Departments of Excellence” Program 2023-2027.
