TT - Introducing Think-tanks 3: CEPS

CEPS - Thinking ahead for Europe

"Mission:
Founded in Brussels in 1983, the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) is among the most experienced and authoritative think tanks operating in the European Union today. CEPS serves as a leading forum for debate on EU affairs, but its most distinguishing feature lies in its strong in-house research capacity, complemented by an extensive network of partner institutes throughout the world...

Goals:

•  To carry out state-of-the-art policy research leading to solutions to the challenges facing Europe
•  To achieve high standards of academic excellence and maintain unqualified independence.
•  To provide a forum for discussion among all stakeholders in the European policy process.
•  To build collaborative networks of researchers, policy-makers and business representatives across the whole of Europe.
•  To disseminate our findings and views through a regular flow of publications and public events.
