To complement the academic programme, the Department of European Political and Governance Studies organizes challenging and professionalizing extracurricular academic activities:

• tellUs is a joint project between the College of Europe and the European Commission which offers students the opportunity to interact with EU officials on the future proofing of environmental policy, in a common effort to advance the European agenda towards greater sustainability.

• European Centre for Government Transformation (ECGT) is an initiative in public sector reform established by Accenture, the Lisbon Council and the College of Europe.
   
• Europe Outside the Box (EoB) is an extra-curricular debate club.
   
• European Health Parliament (EHP) is a platform of 60 young professionals (among which 10 students from the College of Europe) gathered to write policy recommendations in order to reshape the future of healthcare in Europe.

• SPECQUE is the largest simulation of the European Parliament held in French.

• Transparency International aims to raise awareness among the students and interested participants about the challenges of transparency and corruption in the EU’s political life and abroad. 
   
• European Horizons is a US-based, non-partisan think-tank, devoted to exploring the meaning of European identity, modernizing and reforming the concept of the social market economy, advancing the cause of European integration, and deepening transatlantic relations.
