Alumni visit to the Università Cattolica of Milan

College of Europe alumni Mario PAGANO (Chopin Promotion 2015-2016) and Carlo BIZ (Falcone & Borsellino Promotion 2014-2015) and Paloma PIONETTI from UCL, were invited by Francesco BESTAGNO, Professor of EU law at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore of Milan in order to meet his students and advice them on possible EU career paths once graduated in Milan.

Sixty students attended the event, during which they discussed the following key points:

  • Working for the EU institutions: EPSO and traineeships;
  • Working for the private sector in Brussels: law firms, consultancies, lobbies, NGOs;
  • LLM programmes: mainly College of Europe, UCL and ULB.

In addition, they also presented the "Manifesto per una nuova Europa", written last summer by the Italian Society of the Chopin Promotion 2015-2016, providing new ideas to relaunch the European project.

In this regard, please find attached our "Manifesto per una nuova Europa" along with the programmatic part laying down our concrete proposals.
