Founded in Brussels in 1983, the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) is a post-graduate research institute with about 20 PHD candidates in-house and a think tank focused on the European Union.

CEPS’ funding is obtained from a variety of sources, including membership fees, project research, foundation grants, conferences fees, publication sales and an annual grant from the European Commission.
