This workshop is based around 4 core elements: the EU institutional landscape, the relations between these institutions, the decision-making processes and the ways to work and influence the system. In support of these themes will be a provocative and stimulating review of the current state of EU politics, an interactive lobbying simulation session using case studies as suggested by delegates and a guest speaker with in-depth knowledge of The Council.<br>

The result will be a rounded, well-informed appreciation of how the EU works, how it will likely develop given the current political landscape, and where your role as stakeholder fits within the decision making process. Crucially, you will come away understanding how best to promote your cause and position - something with a real and tangible value. Comprehensive delegate packs, lunch and refreshments will also be provided as part of the delegate fee.<br>

The course has been tailored to meet the needs of those representing corporate and NGO interests within Brussels, those with an interest in the European political climate, and is an opportunity to either top-up or develop your existing knowledge.
