Foundation Partners with Bucharest School of Public Administration
A multi-year partnership establishes a joint research fellowship and a regional case-study series on public-sector reform.
DDD Southeast Europe today announces a three-year partnership with the Bucharest School of Public Administration. The partnership establishes a joint research fellowship for early-career scholars and a regional case-study series documenting public-sector reform experiences across Southeast Europe.
The first fellowship cohort will run from September 2026 and includes four research positions distributed across the foundation's working priorities. Fellowship recipients will be hosted at the School and will produce one major output each over the course of the academic year, published jointly under both institutions' imprints.
The case-study series will document twelve reform experiences over the three years of the partnership, with country selection deliberately weighted toward smaller reform episodes rather than headline national programmes. The objective is to build a teachable library of mid-scale reforms that other administrations in the region can adapt.
