Malta, EU

The Critical Institute is a non-profit organisation set up and run by academics and activist practitioners. It offers a democratic and interdisciplinary platform to debate, learn and collaborate on world class critical research, teaching and practice. We engage in educational practice that is not limited to the acquisition of skills and knowledge, but one that actively questions and confronts inequalities and oppression- knowledge that has a transformative agenda.

It is especially "committed to linking research and practice as a project of praxis, motivated by real needs, dedicated to social justice through social and political change ; and seeks to achieve real and lasting ‘impact’ determined by real people on their own terms and not by research councils, universities, policy makers or politicians as we strengthen efforts at decolonizing knowledge, research and practice".
