The CAPeye team is very often mobilized to organize conferences, give lectures, interviews, and animate debates. The team also participates to debates and expertise on CAP reforms (2014, 2020).

CAPeye has also made it possible to boost research on CAP issues in the Agropolis community, in particular on the CAP evaluation, on the analysis of "small farms and the CAP", on CAP and peri-urban areas, on CAP and agro-ecology.

CAPeye cell and its team will continue their activities through other sources of funding: they are involved in the Agreencamp project (carried out by IAVFF and financed by IDEFI-N) to develop distance learning and serious games on CAP. CAPeye will maintain its activities as debate facilitators and will organize a conference on CAP reform, with the Société française d’Economie rurale, in June 2018 in Montpellier. CAPeye will also strengthen further its network of experts and develop further research on CAP and small farms; CAP and the environment; CAP assessment tools.
