Workshop in Brussels
23-26 April 2012
The Brussels Workshop explains how the institutions of the European Union – Commission, European Parliament, and Council of the European Union – work in practice and how the decision-making process in Brussels works in practical terms. The role of lobbyists and interest groups is also examined.
The Workshop is suited to those new to working with the EU institutions and also to those with some prior knowledge. The approach in the workshop is practical, helping participants to develop tactics and approaches to dealing with the EU institutions.
In short, participants will gain a thorough understanding of professional economists' way of thinking and a concise overview of the most important topics and approaches in micro- and macroeconomics. No background in economics or mathematics is necessary.
