Decision making in the European Union
The course provides insider knowledge of how the European Union decides in general and with regard to a specific policy field. We will visit the main European institutions and other organizations, which can provide deeper insights into the chosen topic of the study trip (2025: enlargement process).
Overview
During a one-week study trip to Brussels, students gain valuable insights into the decision-making processes, routines and challenges of local organisations, institutions and companies. These operate at the intersection of politics, business, economics and morality, including EU institutions, country representations, associations and non-governmental organisations. The study trip takes place every two years and focusses on a general topic that enables a comprehensive view from different perspectives. Together with local experts, the students discuss and debate these topics in order to promote an in-depth understanding of the complex interconnections.
Learning outcomes
Participants will develop a deeper understanding of the decision-making processes of the EU institutions in general and with regard to the specific topic. Overall, the program gives center-stage to the interaction of different actors in the complex multi-level European decision-making processes.
