Description

The European Summer School 2012 (ESS 2012)

Europe At The Crossroads will focus on current political and economic situation in the European Union and in this context will examine more deeply different policies of the EU and their perspectives (e.g. defence, agriculture, home affairs, energy security, budget, democracy promotions etc.). All teachers participating at ESS 2012 have broad academic and practical experience and will strive to emphasize the standpoints of the Central European Countries (Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia) in the European Union. Participants of the ESS 2012 will learn about and discuss the political and economical challenges the EU is facing in the framework of new institutional structure.

This extraordinary event will provide a great opportunity to share ideas with policy researchers from the Czech Republic carrying out the research on the EU policies. Thanks to the excellent relations and co-operation between EUROPEUM Institute for European Policy and many other organizations, you will have the opportunity to listen to and discuss the views of other experts. Taking part in this summer school you will not only gain the knowledge, but will also become an active designer of policy solutions and strategies.
