The three-day Intensive Course offers the possibility to meet with experts from EU institutions and Member States as well as the private sector, academia, and diplomacy. Varied perspectives of our experienced trainers will support you in applying complex rules to your own daily practice.

To ensure that you get the best possible understanding of the topics at hand, our Intensive Course sessions combine theoretical presentations, case study analysis, and highly interactive discussions on practical issues.
