Studies 

To enable the opt​imal informational support for our rapporteurs and members, the CoR can call on the help of external experts to create scientific studies on certain topics of interest.

In addition to  studies published by the CoR, the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS) also produces briefings and analyse​s relating to and supporting the CoR's consultative work, following the Cooperation Agreement between the European Committee of the Regions and the European Parliament of 5 February 2014.
