CIMERA is a Geneva-based, private, non-profit
organization. We are active in the Caucasus,
Central Asia, the Balkans and
in Switzerland.
CIMERA combines governance projects and research.
We focus on media development and raising the
professional qualifications of journalists.
Furthermore, we initiate cross-border cooperation
between journalists, politicians and experts to
enhance debates on regional concerns.
CIMERA considers that media development depends on
the political culture, an active civil society and
on a basic knowledge of the socio-political
realities of the concerned societies. Therefore,
we complete our engagement in the media sector
with projects in the fields of language politics,
civic participation and research.
CIMERA’s interdisciplinary team of recognized
professionals includes journalists, political and
social scientists, psychologists, linguists and
experts on international relations. They all have
a proven ability to design and implement projects
in strong collaboration with partner organizations
and experts in Eastern Europe, the Balkans,
Russia, t
