Documenting the work and impact of foundations across Europe is essential to better understand and promote their social utility. Through the former EFC Research Task Force, the Centre has produced a comparative map of the foundation sector in the European Union.

This initiative has received special support from the King Baudouin Foundation.
Additionally the task force has compiled generic information on foundations' practices and operating frameworks, in several topics.
