Formation
CELSI was founded in 2008 by Dr. Martin Kahanec and Dr. Marta Kahancova, professors of Public Policy and Political Science, respectively, at the Central European University in Budapest, Hungary. Their objective was to create an institution where ideas and knowledge about labour markets in Central and Eastern Europe could be shared. Therefore, as well as being an independent research institute with its own in-house research team, CELSI was also conceived as a means for building a network of research fellows across the globe.
