We are pleased to inform you that applications are now open for the Brussels Summer School for Young Leaders with a theme of ‘EU as a Global Actor’ that will be held at Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in Brussels from 26 June – 1 July 2016.

Through a series of lectures, debates, workshops and study trips to different EU institutions, the ‘EU as a Global Actor’: Brussels Summer School for Young Leaders provides the participants with a policymaker’s ‘insider’ perspective into how the European Union and its leaders deal with the closely interlinked key contemporary security, economic and political challenges facing the block.
The program builds upon our strong links with Brussels-based institutions and organizations. The lectures and discussions will be conducted, among others, by the following senior EU policy-makers and diplomats, top NATO officials and leading academic experts:
