The Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS) is the think tank of the progressive political family at EU level. Their mission is to develop innovative research, policy advice, training and debates to inspire and inform socialist and social-democratic politics and policies across Europe.

FEPS operates as an intellectual hub to facilitate the emergence of progressive answers to the challenges that Europe faces today.

It works in close partnership with its network of member organisations from across Europe and partners including renowned universities, scholars, policymakers and activists. Its aim is to forge connections and boost coherence among stakeholders from the world of politics, academia and civil society at local, regional, national, European and global levels.

FEPS’ ambition is to undertake intellectual reflection for the benefit of the progressive movement, and to promote the founding principles of the EU – freedom, equality, solidarity, democracy, respect of human rights, fundamental freedoms, human dignity and the rule of law.
