About our Full-Immersion programme
“After the course, I was able to better understand the organization and functioning of EU institutions, the way laws are issued in the EU as well as number of relevant EU policies. The course gave me the opportunity to get to know a number of experts and colleagues thus extending my professional network.” “The high expertise of the professors was undeniably valuable. It is an honour to be taught by such professionals.”
About our Advanced programme
“This course offers condensed EU-knowledge from people who have experience working in the EU and takes place in a well organized and beautiful setting.”
About our Booster programme
"Being a part of the Booster programme of the Intensive Seminar on the EU has been both informative and fun. The programme covered topics such as the European Green Deal, European Digital Policies, and offered lectures on the European Court of Justice and interpretation of its judgements as well as comitology procedures. Lecturers coming from relevant institutions were very responsive and on the point about topics they were conveying. There's also a fun part to a programme, with social events that allow us to meet people with various cultural and educational background to top the experience."
Anamarija Musa, Senior Expert Associate at the Ministry of education, science, culture and sports of West Herzegovina Canton (BiH)
“Ce programme intensif, complet et bien fait, m’a permis de rafraîchir mes connaissances et compétences sur l’action européenne interne et externe. Les intervenants du Collège étaient très pertinents dans leur domaine et d’une grande qualité humaine et pédagogique. Je suis ravi également d’avoir pu rencontrer des collègues provenant de différents pays européens et de différents secteurs. Ces collègues sont très vite devenus des amis avec qui je resterai en contact".
The sessions are delivered by high-level speakers from the expert network of the College of Europe, which comprises academics, practitioners, and EU-officials with a sound experience in the field of European politics and policies.
