Networking in the European Union

Networking and Lobbying are the preconditions for successful EU work. At the Euro-pean level, this requires sometimes a different approach than at the national level. Brussels based lobbyists, practitioners from EU institutions and national administra-tions as well as representatives of European business associations and the media will report on their experience in this field. What is the key to successful lobbying? How do the decision-making processes in the Council, the European Parliament and the Commission work? And how do high-ranking recipients of lobbying perceive the actual possibilities of influencing EU decisions? These are just some of the ques-tions, which will be answered during the seminar, which will be held in English.

This seminar is intended especially for business people, representatives of interest groups and civil servants concerned with EU issues as well as students and young academics.
