About POLBERG

The Political Behavior Research Group (PolBeRG) is a research-facilitating and learning environment for the study of political behavior and political communication. It organizes regular seminars with paper presentations, replication seminars, and more informal talks on research methods and emerging research agendas. 
The events are open to students and faculty from any CEU department as well as interested scholars at other academic institutions, and offer them the opportunity to discuss their own research with a specialist audience.

If you liked to learn more about upcoming POLBERG events, present your own work at the seminar or propose a guest speaker (e.g. a scholar in the field who is about to visit Budapest), please email polberg@ceu.hu
