Policy
Public Sector - European Institutions
Our multilingual team of professionals offers high-quality policy services to the EU Institutions, in particular the European Commission, in a wide range of domains. We have more than 20 years of experience in carrying out successful assignments and in delivering value at the different stages of the policy process to EU bodies and institutions (including EU agencies and offices, the Committee of the Regions, etc.). Our creative and experienced team brings deep and topical policy knowledge, professional methodological tools and approaches to assignments, together with extensive experience in programme/project management. Our Policy offering delivers a wide range of services, which fulfil policy-makers’ needs at all stages of the policy life cycle (preparation, adoption, implementation and application). We always operate in accordance with the principles laid down in the European Commission’s Better Regulation Strategy: comprehensiveness, proportionality, independence, transparency and evidence-based analysis.
