From Monday 12 to Friday 23 January 2026, the VUB Brussels School of Governance organises the sixth edition of its online Jean Monnet Winter School on EU Policy Making. This highly interactive Winter School (6 ECTS) provides participants a ‘crash course’ in European Union Policy Making. Its focus area is the EU’s tech policies, touching on policy discussions related to freedom of expression, data governance, artificial intelligence, disinformation resilience, platform responsibility, and digital development. This Winter School is a challenging and truly interactive online study experience (workshops, simulation game, etc.), with special attention to the social side.
The application deadline is 15 November.
A special feature of the Winter School will be the simulation exercise, during which participants team up with students from the EUTOPIA universities to simulate the EU ordinary legislative procedure for two days.
