Mission & Goals
The Trans European Policy Studies Association (TEPSA) is a network of 49 leading policy research institutes in 37 European countries. Due to its geographical scope it is a unique network, active in member states, candidate countries and the European public sphere. TEPSA aims to stimulate discussion on policies and political options by: - organising conferences and seminars; - conducting policy research; - facilitating interaction between research, policy-makers and between citizens across the EU. The statutes define TEPSA's goal as "to study or to organise research on problems relating to the development of European integration, based on human rights and democracy, to propose solutions, and to promote their taking into consideration by institutions, both private and public, at national or Community level, and to diffuse the results of its work."
