Policy making in the European Union in Times of Crisis

Description

The focus area of this Summer school will be policy making in the European Union (EU) in times of crisis, touching on policy discussions related to refuge crisis and pandemics.

This summer program seeks to attract undergraduate, post graduate students and young professionals from various nationalities with diversified academic background who wish to broaden their knowledge of the European decision-making process, especially in times of crisis. This should also provide participants with an understanding of political and legal frameworks that have shaped Europe’s responses to crisis.

The first day of the course will focus on the main EU institutions. During the second day students will learn more about the decision-making procedures at the European level. The third day will examine the strengths and weaknesses of the EU under the light of the refugee crisis and the pandemic crisis responses.

This summer program is a challenging and truly interactive study experience (virtual visits to the EU institutions, simulation game, learning how to navigate through the official website of the European Union: official documents; reports, studies; statistics and opinion polls).

Admission criteria are mainly based on academic achievements and motivation for participating in the program.

It is an unique educational offer that will take place in a stimulating, historical and motivating academic environment. An unique opportunity to acquire new knowledge and meet colleagues from all over Portugal and around the world.
