Housed in the MRPs, the research units are the main mechanism through which the objectives of the MRPs are materialised through empirical studies, which – simultaneously – fulfil the objectives of the MRPs and are in coherence with the overall goals of the researchers’ individual research projects. The research units are also the main instrument, which welcomes and ‘houses’ incoming doctoral students who undertake research that fits the units’ main research objectives and interests. Research units, being attached to the MRPs and incorporating doctoral candidates, develop research projects that cannot be shorter than three years.

This organisational structure enables interdisciplinary research and simultaneously ‘orients’ EUT researchers towards those areas that are important to EUT and its partners.

Major Research Projects (MRPs)::

1. The new economic model in Albania
2. The state and the right to transformation
3. The role of the individual in the development of Albanian society
