Terra Recognita Foundation –
for a dialogue in Central Europe

Who We Are

Terra Recognita Foundation was established in 2005 by Hungarian researchers, PhD students and NGO activists who were interested in Central European issues and were willing to learn some Central European languages.
Beside academic projects, the foundation is active in dissemination projects
and crossborder cooperation initiatives, having a stable network of
partners throghout the region.

Our Mission

Our primary mission is to launch and conduct Central European cooperation and dialogue projects, embodying in issuing books, co-organizing club events, festivals, contributing to exhibitions and writing in journals.

Our vision is that Central Europe – the large, in-between  region between the German-speaking and Russian-speaking world, stretching from the Baltic Sea to the Adriatic Sea – is ought to be not a *terra incognita * unexplored land), but a re-explored land: *terra recognita*. Raising common knowledge and awareness towards each other can improve cooperation not just among CE countries, but between CE and Western Europe.
