Research partners are embedded in one project from start to finish. This means shaping the research questions at the outset, contributing data and expertise throughout, reviewing draft outputs, and participating in the roundtables and workshops convened around the project.

Research Partners gain access to:

– The full body of research produced within the project, including working papers, interview notes, data sets, and drafts not released publicly.

– The expert network convened for the project, typically comprising senior policymakers, regulators, academic researchers, and practitioners from across Europe.

– The roundtables, workshops, and closed-door sessions held during the project, which bring together participants that partners would rarely encounter in a single room.

– Public attribution in the final policy brief, report, or recommendation, and visibility in the launch activities that follow.

– Direct involvement in how findings are translated into policy recommendations, including co-authored outputs where the partner’s contribution warrants it.

Who this is for – Research partnership suits organisations with a clear stake in a specific policy question and the capacity to contribute substantively to the research. This includes industry associations, corporates with domain expertise, foundations, and public bodies who want to move beyond passive observation of the policy process.

Contribution – Research partnership involves a one-time contribution of €25,000.
