Cooperation for European Evaluation
C2E is a network of small and medium size companies specialized in policy design, impact assessment and evaluation.
The Network was established at the 9th Conference of the European Evaluation Society in Prague (October 2010). Initiated by Euréval with the purpose to gather together its regular partners in other countries, C2E was established on a block of shared principles:
- Common professional values matching international professional standards;
- Proper quality assessment ensuring value added to the Client;
- Large geographical coverage at the EU level;
- Jointly developed working practices and sharing of information.
The network consists of 12 members directly covering 15 EU Member States, together with another member in Switzerland. C2E members combine over 150 in-house experts specialized in evaluation and impact assessment on a variety of sectors.
The overall competence of the Network is strengthened by the specialisation of each member. Each member has international experience in carrying out evaluations and impact assessments, policy design, economic and social research. Members have a wide network of international relations and have carried out assignments in many Member States, and transition and developing countries.
Each member operates countrywide. All members are independent and follow a quality based consulting approach. It is also worth mentioning that all members are either founding members or members of their national evaluation societies (when they exist).
An internal communication system allows for on-going transfer of information among C2E members.
