Our organisation
Our core mission is to provide a mix of deep insights and practical knowledge about EU policies, to all professionals related to EU public affairs, with the key objective of further improving their skills and capabilities for efficient management of the policies.
We are supported by the EU Member States and the European Commission. We serve officials in national and regional public administrations in Member States, in the European Commission itself, and in other EU institutions. As such, we have developed a vast and strong network across the Member States and various EU institutions, bodies, and agencies.
It is the combination of this network and the experience of our experts that enables us to provide cross-national and cross-institutional comparative, analytical perspectives on EU policies, which, along with our problem-solving approach, makes us one of the longest-standing experts in EU public affairs.
We believe in a practical approach which will help you apply what you learn in your daily work. So during our courses, you will work in small groups, with interactive workshops, case studies, and simulation games, to help you imbibe the knowledge at a very practical level.
But that’s only half of it. Learning needs to have a good blend of different perspectives, so in our courses we place a lot of emphasis on exchange, both within and outside the course module. You will get lots of opportunities to learn best practices from participants from a wide variety of countries and sectors, and also have informal discussions over coffee and other activities, to hear their thoughts and views on various subjects.
By the end of a course, you would have not just gathered knowledge, but also built up a strong Europe-level network of your own.
