EVALUATION

We consider that evaluation can play a useful role in terms of guiding managers and other decision makers when it comes to reviewing past performance or preparing new initiatives. In addressing the established evaluation criteria of relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability, an evaluation is an increasingly in-demand rational tool in the project and policy cycle.

RESEARCH

We conduct research for public clients, including European Union institutions, on policies and programmes that impact the European Institutions, Civil Society Organisations, and other international organisations. Covering a wide range of policy areas, our studies are mostly qualitative, utilise mixed-methods, and are conducted alongside academic research partners. For detailed information on recent research assignments conducted, please visit our ‘Projects’ section.

Student placement schemes

We believe in providing opportunities for the next generation of researchers and evaluators. Our internship programme allows talented students with an interest in international affairs to develop skills that will serve them in careers in research, academia, and international organisations. Past interns now work at prestigious organisations, such as the French Senate, Banco de España, Oxford Economics, and other international consultancy firms and Civil Society Organisations in Austria, France, United Kingdom or Spain.

As part of our team, our interns take an active role in our work. They participate in our research and evaluation assignments by supporting data collection and analysis and collaborating with our partners and clients.
