OUR MISSION

The Center focuses on legal and economic scientific studies, while keeping a wholesome (holistic, heterodox, all inclusive) approach to social and other sciences. CLES promotes studies about the environment and climate change, social areas (sports, culture), economics (banking and wider financial sector), all the while supporting high ethical and moral criteria.
The Center deals with the issues of sustainability in different fields by using empirical legal and quantitative economic methods.
 
Its main goal is to contribute to the advancement of people and society. To achieve that, both basic and applied studies are present in the work of the Center.
