Policies and Priorities Programme: A one-week programme offering a practical and insightful review of the main legislative priorities of the von der Leyen Commission and the hot topics at the heart of the European politics, as well as a deep-dive into the larger policy portfolios.

This programme is aimed at participants who are well acquainted with both the institutional framework and the EU’s general policy area’s but are looking for the latest updates in the field, and especially on certain policies.

Both programmes combine different learning approaches:

• Dynamic and interactive lectures and training sessions, examining theoretical and practical aspects of EU decision-making and policies;
• Skills-oriented workshops designed to identify and develop essential practical skills;
• Keynote speeches from high-level speakers;
• Simulation exercises where participants are confronted with actual conditions and constraints of the decision-making procedures.
