On Thursday 23 November 2017, the Department of European Economic Studies, in collaboration and with the support of the Swiss Mission to the EU, organized a one-day workshop on "The Swiss Experience with EU Market Access: Lessons for Brexit".

The objective of this workshop was to illustrate the options available to the UK and the EU for a deep post-Brexit economic relationship, on the basis of the experience with the EU-Switzerland agreements. Topics discussed included migration, the effect of changes in trade policy on employment, and the factors determining the formation of trade agreements.
