During this advanced five-day course participants get an insight into the theory and practice of EU negotiations. The main focus is on interactive elements including a simulation exercise under the guidance of an experienced insider. The workshop prepares participants for negotiations taking place inside the EU institutions and within the context of an EU Presidency and shows them the perspective of a Permanent Representation in Brussels.

After this one-week advanced training course, you will have gained the necessary know-how and self-confidence to participate effectively and successfully in negotiation processes in the EU context.

- improve, extend and update your knowledge and understanding of the EU with the in-depth analysis offered.
