Endre Borbáth is a Junior Professor of Empirical-Analytical Participation Research at the Institute of Political Science at Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg and leads the Emmy Noether Research Group on The New Climate Divide. He is also a Guest Researcher at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center’s Center for Civil Society Research. His research bridges comparative politics and political sociology, focusing on mass mobilization, climate change, immigration, and European integration.

He holds a PhD from the European University Institute (2018), an MA in Political Science from Central European University (2014), and dual BAs in Political Science and Philosophy from Babeș-Bolyai University (2012). His work employs quantitative methods to analyze media coverage, surveys, and experiments across Western, Central, and Eastern Europe.

Recent research trends emphasize the climate divide and its intersection with party competition, protest movements, and democratic processes. Articles address trade union activism, party-system dynamics, and environmental mobilization patterns. His Emmy Noether project explores how climate politics reshapes political conflict structures.
