IEP is pleased to share the results of the FCT evaluation of CIEP - the Research Centre of the Institute of Political Studies, in which, for the first time in its history, a Very Good rating was obtained.

This rating relates to the 2018-2023 period and also covers CIEP's strategic plan for the 2025-2029 period. The evaluation report highlights CIEP's links with LED and CESOP as very positive points. The new master's programmes in European Studies (led by Professor Sónia Ribeiro) and Public Policy (led by Professors André Azevedo Alves and Inês Gregório) are also highlighted, among other positive points, and CIEP's strategic commitment to a new ‘research hub’ in Public Policy deserves special mention.

The Director of IEP, Prof Mónica Dias, would like to thank the entire CIEP management team, namely its Director, Prof André Azevedo Alves, the Vice-Director, Prof Inês Gregório and the two research assistants, Master Joana Ramos and Master Francisco Nunes.
