The CER makes a point of bringing together people from the worlds of politics and business. Most of our meetings and seminars are by invitation only, to ensure a high level of debate. The conclusions of our research and seminars are reflected in our publications, as well as in the private papers and briefings that senior officials, ministers and commissioners ask us to provide.

Most CER events are invitation only, unless otherwise indicated. For further information please either call +44 (0) 20 7233 1199 or email events@cer.org.uk
