Funders

We are grateful for our funders' support over the years. While V-Dem accepts contributions from a wide range of sources, we value our academic freedom and integrity deeply. Hence, we only collaborate with funders which respect our independence and acknowledge that data collection, processing, research, or analyses are conducted according to V-Dem protocols and methods.
