Brussels, Belgique Centre for European Policy Studies - CEPS Temps plein

**About us**

Founded in Brussels in 1983, CEPS (Centre for European Policy Studies) is a leading think tank and forum for debate on EU affairs, which has been consistently ranked among the world’s top 10 best think tanks. One of CEPS’ distinguishing features is its strong in-house research capacity and an extensive international network of partner institutes. CEPS’ funding comes from a variety of sources, mainly research grants and service contracts, but also from membership and conference fees.

The CEPS ‘Financial Markets and Institutions’ (FMI) unit consists of a research team specialised in financial services and their providers. The main activities of the unit consist of policy research and events. For the policy research the team is using a combination of both ‘state of the art’ quantitative and qualitative research methods. Equally, the FMI unit manages the European Capital Markets Institute (ECMI), the European Credit Institute (ECRI) and provides the secretariat for the Network of Independent Fiscal Institutions (IFIs).
