The Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) is a think tank based in Brussels, Belgium. It was established in 1983.[1][2]

Organisation

[edit]

CEPS's first director was Peter Ludlow.[3] Its director between 2000 and 2020 was Daniel Gros,[4] who had formerly been an economic advisor at the European Commission.[2] Its Chief Executive Officer since 2000 has been Karel Lannoo.[5]

Funding

[edit]

In 2023, more than 40% of CEPS's net revenue came from grants from and services provided to European Union institutions. 17.3% came from corporate and institutional membership fees.[6]

In 2015, 23% of CEPS's budget came from collaborative European research projects, in which academics Diane Stone and Stella Ladi note it often played the role of communicating the project results.[7]

Writing in 2000, Philippa Sherrington noted that CEPS's corporate membership was then its largest source of income, with "its promotional literature [stressing] the importance of this constituency".[8]

Rankings

[edit]

Ramona Coman notes that together with Bruegel, CEPS is one of only two Brussels-based organisations to occupy leading positions in international rankings of think tanks.[2]
