Cedos is an independent think tank, urban bureau, and community that has been working on social and spatial development issues since 2010. We believe that everyone has the right to a decent standard of living. Therefore, the goal of Cedos is to find the systemic causes of social problems and develop strategies to solve them. Our approach is based on research. We study social processes and public policies, disseminate critical knowledge, educate and strengthen the community of supporters of these changes. In our work, we are guided by the values of dignity, equality, solidarity, participation, quality and empathy.
Full legal name – NGO Centre for Society Research.
