Goals / Remit
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. 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.
CEPS is an independent, not-for-profit institution that provides high-quality research without promoting the (financial) interests of any other organisation or company.
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, NGO and business representatives across the whole of Europe
To disseminate our findings and views through a regular flow of publications and public events
CEPS carries out its research via its own in-house research programmes and through collaborative research networks involving the active participation of other highly reputable institutes and specialists:

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
