The training course is tailored to provide considerable insight into the study of EU lobbying and to offer a methodical understanding of the interface between EU institutions and lobbyists. After an introduction of the relations between the EU institutions and lobbies, the programme will focus on an in-depth study of which skills and strategies lobbyists must adopt to increase their influence over the EU policy-making process. Indeed, the course is designed to develop professional techniques to engage and lobby EU institutions, as well as to give the methodology and tools required to devise strategies for successful lobbying campaigns.
