Rand Europe

Not-for-profit policy research and analysis

Overview

RAND Europe is a not-for-profit research institute working to improve policy and decision making through evidence and analysis. As the European arm of the RAND Corporation, it shares its mission and values and applies a wide range of policy-relevant studies—from defence and security, innovation and technology policy, and criminal justice to health and social issues. Its work blends subject expertise with methods such as evaluation, impact measurement, and choice modelling to produce insights that are grounded in data and context. Distinguishing features include its not-for-profit structure, its breadth across policy areas, and its cross-cutting use of rigorous methodologies to deliver robust analyses. The goal is to inform policymakers and stakeholders with findings that can guide effective decisions and public outcomes.
