Specifically as regards the module on the Law of the European Union, the overall objective is to provide participants with a practical understanding of current EU legal issues and the resulting effects on national administrations: Firstly, it provides a comprehensive view of the constitutional organisation of the European Union. Secondly, it introduces fundamental concepts and principles of European Union Law, both in general and within specific policy areas. Lastly, it discusses the practical implementation of European Union Law and the consequences thereof for the EU Member States in terms of administrative capacities and human resources.
The course is highly interactive, combining presentations both by experts and by the participants with group exercises, simulations and workshops, and it includes a study visit to the European Court of Justice.
