The Centre for European Reform (CER) is a London-based think tank that focuses on matters of European integration. In 2021 it was ranking 58th among the top think tanks worldwide (non-US) in the Global Go To Think Tank Index Report published by the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program.[1]
CER was founded in 1996. Charles Grant, a journalist at The Economist, left his position there in 1998 to work at CER on a full-time basis, and has led the organization since then. It has significant corporate funding, including from APCO an American public relations company best known for their work with Philip Morris.[2] Their positions tend to be anti-regulatory.[3]
