Overview
EUROPEUM Institute for European Policy associated with the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence in European Studies at the Faculty of Social Sciences of Charles University is organizing a fourth year of European Summer School.
The European Summer School 2006 (ESS 2006) Central Europe in the EU - Two Years After
will focus on the role, activities and impact of the new member states from Central Europe (Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia) in the enlarged European Union. Participants of the ESS 2006 will learn and discuss about the political and economical challenges the new EU member states are facing.
The European Summer School 2006 will provide an answer to a variety of questions you might have about Central European states and their positions, activities and influence in the EU two years after becoming full-fledged members. These will include the reflection of their present experience and views for the future development, of their economies, participation in the EU foreign and security policy, positions concerning further EU enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy etc.
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 integration process, participation of the member states in the EU policy making and influences of the changing EU politics and economy. Thanks to the excellent relations and co-operation between EUROPEUM Institute for European Policy and embassies, you will have the opportunity to listen to and discuss also the views of diplomats of respective countries. 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.
As a student of the ESS 2006 you will be invited to participate in the process of exchanging thoughts and visions about the present and future role of Central European states in integrating Europe with experts of the EUROPEUM Institute for European Policy and other Czech and international stakeholders. EU policy analyses completed by the Institute received a high evaluation from both Czech and international policy makers. EUROPEUM Institute for European Policy is a member of the European Policy Institute Network (EPIN) or Policy Association for an Open Society (PASOS) and supports international cooperation for EU policy research and evaluation.
