D’EP Institut has evaluated the Youth Employment Service (SOJ) of Barcelona Activa (2022). The study has focused on evaluating the design and implementation taking into account aspects such as: knowledge and access channels, coverage degree, type of usage (occasional or continuous), service evaluation, and labor orientation needs.
The methodology has combined quantitative and qualitative techniques. Participant registration has allowed assessing coverage and establishing the profile and characteristics of participation. Additionally, two discussion groups with young people and one with professionals from facilities aimed at young people have been carried out, along with a survey of young people who have used the SOJ.
The Cultura Universalis project aims to develop and test a series of culture-based creative activity workshops and an interactive online game to improve intercultural competence and prosocial attitude through art in children aged 7- 14, whose character and potential are still developing, so their receptivity to different stimuli is broader.

The Caja Navarra Foundation annually contributes to a fund aimed at forgotten humanitarian crises. D’EP Institut supported the management of the 2023 call for proposals, in which 8 entities applied, and three benefited: Manos Unidas, UNICEF, and ACNUR.

D’EP Institut has facilitated the sessions promoted by the Advisory Council for Sustainable Development (CADS) to identify the 10 challenges for Sustainable Development (2022 edition - published in 2023) which have involved the participation of the Catalonia Alliance 2030. The task carried out by D’EP Institut has been the preparation of contents and materials for the sessions, their facilitation, and the analysis and presentation of conclusions. Prior to the first session, an online consultation was carried out with members of the Alliance to focus the debate In total, 4 sessions have been held, each lasting approximately 4 hours.

DE’P Institut has developed the "Practical Guide for the Evaluation of Local Health Plans" (PLS) at the request of the Barcelona Provincial Council, in order to have a document that facilitates evaluation and, therefore, assesses the achievement of the set objectives. The guide provides guidelines for planning and carrying out the monitoring and evaluation of the PLS, and also makes recommendations on the dissemination of the results obtained. It is structured into 6 chapters, and in the last one, a list of 10 basic principles to consider in the monitoring and/or evaluation of a PLS is offered.

Once again, D’EP Institut is supporting the OpenCohesion School Catalonia project that began in the 2019-2020 school year. Currently, the project is being promoted from the Open Data Area of the General Directorate of Digital Administration (DGAD). Students in 3rd and 4th of ESO participating in the project carry out research, putting into practice the principles of citizen auditing, using open data and qualitative information to evaluate interventions funded by the European Union cohesion policies in their territory, providing results and actively engaging. During the 2023-2024 academic year, D'EP Institut is supporting the DGAD in the implementation of the project by elaborating the didactic guides, dynamizing the webinars for the participating teachers, and supporting the design of the final event. Finally, it has been in charge of the evaluation of this edition of the project.
