The European Research Centre for Political Culture Analysis and Modelling (EPCAM) is an academic research, teaching and know-how unit with interdisciplinary vocation, which aims at analyzing and modelling the political attitudes toward democracy in the context of migration, terrorism and corruption phenomena in Europe, the European political cultures, as well as the Eastern European post-communist regimes facing the difficult processes of transition to democracy and democratic consolidation.

As an institutional-building action anticipated by the foundation in 2012 of the Eastern-European Research Group on Political Attitudes and Mentalities (EPAM), the European Research Centre for Political Culture Analysis and Modelling was created by its founding members – professors and researchers from Romania and from several European universities – with the goal of establishing the first pan-European academic research institutional structure for the modelling of European political cultures.

EPCAM hosts post-graduate and young research scientists who are developing individual research projects in the area of political culture theory, political methodology and computational social science.
