The Center for Evaluation (CEval) is a research, consulting and educational institution that is unique in Germany. Since 2002 they have been conducting evaluations in various different fields of civil society and state action, advising public and private organisations on the development of monitoring systems and evaluation concepts, and providing academic and non-academic education and training programmes in the field of monitoring and evaluation (M&E).
The results of their work are regularly utilised in pure research and ploughed back into the academic and scientific discourse, for example by the publication of specialist publications and textbooks, or the hosting of international conferences. They thus contribute both to the further development of evaluation research in conceptional and methodological terms and to keeping a wide public audience informed.
