IDEM's experienced and multidisciplinary team is committed to provide policy makers, implementing organisations and scholars with relevant strategic analysis and practical solutions.IDEM seeks, with a network of local partners, local partners, editors and journalists, students of journalism and lawyers working in the industry, the integration of target countries into the international and specifically European structures, servicing varying needs of the countries.
