Now more than ever, the European Union plays a key role in the establishment of the regulatory framework in which companies work. For this reason, this course offers the opportunity to acquire a global vision of the functioning and competencies of the EU institutions, as well as the various communication channels with them, in order to provide participants with the knowledge and tools that will enable them to establish effective communication with the European authorities.

The course will be taught by renowned professionals from a wide range of backgrounds: multinationals, specialised consultancies, business organisations, senior European officials, etc. and will include practical case studies that will bring you closer to the day-to-day running of the Brussels bubble.

In addition, those who choose to attend the course on-site will be able to visit the European Parliament and the Permanent Representation of Spain to the EU, where they will explain how they work and what the role of the Council is.
