    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

    22 meetings found. Download meetings

    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.
