This umbrella program is a joint initiative of the Kansas Population Center in the United States and the Echo Survey Institute in Hungary. These two institutes support an experimental research program that investigates the intersection of demographic and social change in post-socialist Eastern Europe from a historical perspective. Besides hosting various research projects, this program connects researchers and disseminates information about the region, reaching academics and professionals all over the world.
