The European Studies Institute (IEE) coordinates a free three-week introductory course on the European Union (EU). Sessions will take place at the Faculty of Law and participants will be able to gain a general knowledge on the EU. The course, consisting in fifteen sessions, will be offered by international researchers and academics, experts on the EU.

The course, a result of the Jean Monnet “Euconas” Module granted to IEE researcher Cristina Blasi, is aimed preferentially at master's and PhD students from the field of the social sciences, although it is also open to students from other areas of knowledge. Those interested in attending can register for the full course, or sign up for specific seminars.

In addition to provided participants with a comprehensive overview of the EU, the course also offers seminars on specific EU policies, such as economy, environment, security and research and innovation. In all these sessions students will examine the main issues of debate the EU is currently facing, such as the effects of Brexit, the management of the refugee crisis and the growing euroscepticism within the EU.
