  • This Jean Monnet Winter School is a prestigious and one-of-a-kind programme as it is both academically excellent and intellectually stimulating. High-profile speakers from academia, Permanent Representatives to the EU, members of the EU Commission and Parliament, Policy Advisors of EU member states, and members of the EU agencies shared exclusive insights with the students. Participation in this programme enriched me academically and career-wise since the programme provided up-to-date information on legislation, procedural aspects of EU policy-making and geopolitics.
