The CEPR carries out (externally funded) research projects, organizes workshops and conferences, both for researchers as well as practitioners and policy makers, and its members regularly publish research papers and peer-reviewed volumes, special issues and monographs as well as reports and books aimed at a lay audience.
The CEPR organizes also an annual Workshop in Philosophy and Poverty. In 2017 H.P.P. [Hennie] Lötter (Johannesburg) will be the invited speaker with a paper on: Poverty and Human Dignity.
Since the 2013 the CEPR organizes an annual conference on changing focus themes. In past years conferences covered the topics of child poverty (2016), absolute poverty in Europe (2015), and ethical issues in poverty alleviation (2014). These conferences are interdisciplinary and open to all interested researchers, practitioners and policy makers. They aim to bring together current research on poverty, inequality and social exclusion and to discuss policies and other measures of poverty alleviation. All abstracts that are submitted to be included in the conference program are reviewed.
