The Centre for European Studies functions as a pan-European platform for our member foundations, individuals and think tanks from all over Europe that share the central values of the EPP family and its centre-right partners. In working closely together we strive firstly to contribute to the public awareness of European citizens by providing them with a clear and transparent view into a broad spectrum of crucial topics on the political agenda, thus bringing the European cause closer to the public. Secondly by bringing together the brightest minds of Europe we strive to help our decision-makers and opinion leaders, such as EPP Heads of State and Governments and Party Leaders, to formulate new and effective policy options.

Our Common Projects include organizing events and promoting our joint publications. With our Members we strive to stimulate the debate and facilitate an open exchange of views and ideas as well to spread the results of our Common Projects to the public and decision makers throughout Europe.

Currently, CES has 21 member foundations in 19 Member States and 15 individual members.
