„EGO POLITICO” is a NGO for public benefit, founded by students learning Politics in the University of National and World Economy in Sofia ( Bulgaria) at the beginning of 2009, in an environment of friendship and intellectual freedom

“EGO POLITICO” is a pun. As in the philosophy of Aristotle “zoon

politikon” is that social "animal", which, living in the “polis”, participate in management and general affairs, so for us EGO POLITIOCO is the conscious impulse of the young citizen to be part of the political life.

Coupled with the motto "Ego Politico pro bono publico", the name expresses our desire to work in favor of the public weal

Our main goal is to develop an active and competitive civil society in Bulgaria, as a guarantee of democracy and transparency of social and political life.

Support the personal and career development of students, their research and analytical work, particularly in terms of political science.

We maintain an extensive network of contacts and participate in various “pro bono publico” activities.

We organize debates, expert meetings, roundtables and simulation games for the practical use of accumulated knowledge. We pay special attention to the development of projects funded by government, university and European funds.
