The CII specialises in applied quantitative research. Its range of topics covers macroeconomic modelling, mutual investment, mutual trade, transport connectivity, the analysis of regional associations, the development of cross-border infrastructure, labour migration trends and public perceptions of integration.

The CII runs numerous projects and major ongoing studies. Their organisation, as well as the subsequent publication of analytical reports, is carried out within the CII's main project areas:
