What services does CEF’s Research Shop offer?

  • We collaborate with you to systematically define your research priorities, identify critical data requirements, and establish a clear foundation for evidence-based decision-making and strategic planning.

  • We design and implement tailored data collection strategies — from targeted surveys to large-scale datasets — ensuring the robust, high-quality evidence needed to support analysis, evaluation, and strategic decision-making.

  • We produce comprehensive, critical literature and policy reviews that synthesise existing knowledge, identify research and policy gaps, and provide a strong academic and practical foundation for new projects, proposals, and decision-making.

  • We conduct robust quantitative, statistical, and qualitative analyses using a range of methodologies — from descriptive and inferential statistics to thematic coding — to generate evidence-based insights.

  • We produce detailed, data-driven reports that combine advanced statistical outputs, qualitative findings, and critical interpretation. Our reporting transforms complex data into actionable insights, supporting evidence-based strategy, policy recommendations, and continuous improvement.

  • We translate research findings into practical applications, developing tailored strategies, frameworks, and tools that integrate evidence into organisational processes. Our implementation support ensures that insights drive tangible improvements across all aspects of conceiving, planning and delivering events and festivals.
