Areas of research
Dr Evers is a generalist in the field of OSCE conflict management in the broadest sense. Regionally, his main concentration is on the CIS, particularly the East-Slavic and South Caucasus countries, and adjoining regions. Substantively, his research focuses on various components of security-building in Eastern Europe, including minority issues, inter-confessional relations and economic, social and environmental affairs.

His research topics reach from civil-society issues such as election observation and the promotion of the rule of law, to regional issues such as EU-Russia cooperation or energy dialogue. He has also undertaken significant work on the OSCE’s relations with its Asian and Mediterranean Partners for Co-operation.

Dr Evers has carried out research into OSCE structures and policy approaches in a consultancy capacity for CORE’s partners. He has also managed capacity-building projects at CORE, which has seen him take a leading role in CORE’s work to plan and establish the OSCE Academy in Bishkek. He led the elaboration and conduct of CORE's OSCE-Related Training Course – a tailor-made programme offered to governments and other interested clients. Finally, he has a leading role in CORE’s consultancy work to establish a Diplomatic Academy of Armenia.
