EIP has sought to produce innovative and policy-relevant scientific research that achieves international standing in the social sciences and leads to a significant advancement of capabilities and knowledge about elections, democracy, and autocracy.
EIP’s yearly Fellowship programme is designed for academics and practitioners at all stages of their career to engage in electoral integrity research, with the support of the EIP, other fellows, and members of the Advisory Board. Fellows meet once a month for 5-6 sessions to present and discuss their projects, and many present their final products at the annual international online conference.
