Arad Consulting also has a Brussels office that offers a complementary range of research, information and policy development services. Arad’s presence at the heart of the EU allows us to continue to build our international client base whilst offering our current and future clients in Wales and the UK an added European dimension to our research and evaluation work. Both our Brussels and Cardiff based team of consultants have wide ranging experience of working at a European level in fields such as the knowledge economy and education and training and also speak a range of European languages including French, Spanish and Italian. Recent projects with a European dimension have included benchmarking knowledge intensive industries across the EU for the European Monitoring Centre for Change, research into international models for overcoming the links between deprivation and educational achievement for the Welsh Assembly Government and an impact study for international visual arts activity in Wales for Arts Council Wales.
