    Goals / Remit

    CEPS is among the most 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 partners. CEPS is an independent, not-for-profit institution that provides high-quality research without promoting the interests of any other organisation or company. Goals:
    - To carry out state-of-the-art policy research leading to solutions to European challenges
    - 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 Europe
    - To disseminate our findings and views through a regular flow of publications and public events

    Main EU files targeted

    Brexit, EU Multiannual Financial Framework, European Fund for Strategic Investment, Circular Economy, Cybersecurity, EMU governance, NGEU, Green Deal

  • Meetings

    Meetings

    23 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below covers meetings with Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general (high-level) Commission meetings published December 2014 to December 2024, and the meetings of Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general and officials holding "management functions" in the Commission published since 1 January 2025. Other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may well have taken place, but the Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. All information below comes from the Commission and not from the registrant.

    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.
