Center for European Policy Studies
The Center for European Policy Studies (CEPS) is a European think tank based in Brussels , Belgium . It was founded in 1983 and deals with the questions, challenges and solutions in European politics.
organization
The director of the CEPS is the German economist Daniel Gros .
Karel Lannoo is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
One of the main goals of the CEPS is to develop solutions to the challenges and problems in European politics. The exchange of information and knowledge between research and politics is also one of the concerns. To this end, the CEPS is also active in various research networks such as the European Network of Economic Policy Research Institutes ( ENEPRI ).
Research areas
The CEPS conducts research in the following areas:
- Economic policy
- Energy Policy and Climate Change
- European neighborhood policy , common foreign and security policy
- Financial markets and financial institutions
- Justice and Home Affairs
- Politics in the European Union and European Institutions
- Regulatory and regulatory policy
- Development of foreign trade and trade policy
financing
CEPS is funded from a variety of sources. In 2009, CEPS had an income of around 6.7 million euros. Part of this amount can be attributed to the increasing number of EU treaties that CEPS has coordinated in recent years. The income from CEPS 'own research has grown steadily in recent years. 27% of CEPS 'income comes from membership fees, mainly from larger commercial companies. The remaining income is generated through various projects:
- 36% of project contracts awarded to CEPS, tendered by EU institutions and national governments (on the basis of competition),
- 22% from private organizations and
- 8% from foundations.
- 7% by organizing events.
