 "... I really enjoyed myself and learnt a lot" Anne Mattson, Carleton University, CanadaTwo full-fledged academic courses will be taught during the seven-day intensive spring program. The first part of the program will focus on the main aspects of European integration and evolution of the EU institutions. The future of enlarged European Union and the need for the EU institutional overhaul will be also addressed. The second part will discuss the role of the separate EU actors in the decision making process and lobbying mechanisms deployed. Each course consists of eight lectures/workshops, two guest lectures, summary session, and final exam. Despite the heavy course schedule, students will also have a chance to share experiences in less formal environment.
