The programmes provide a ‘crash course’ in European Union Policy-Making, with a unique topical focus. The focus area of the summer course is civil rights in today's EU, while the winter school explores digital rights. The summer school is an in person course, in which students spend one week in Brussels and one week in Vienna. This winter programme is an online study experience with special attention to social interaction.
The main objectives are:
- Reaching out to various target groups that are normally not exposed to knowledge about the functioning of the EU; special emphasis is put on attracting students from Partner Countries by offering them tuition waivers to take part in the programmes;
- Bringing together participants with different backgrounds and encouraging cross-fertilisation between various disciplines and EU-related knowledge;
- Providing state-of-the-art study programmes on EU affairs, taught through a pedagogically sound mix of methods with a focus on practice and collaboration, that offer participants a high-quality learning experience directly applicable in their current or future careers.
The programmes are organised yearly in winter and summer, with a group of thirty students and young professionals for each edition.
