Intro

Master the art of negotiation in the European Union’s most influential policy environment. Join our two-day masterclass, held right in the heart of Brussels, to develop the skills needed to effectively represent interests in EU negotiations. Through real-life EU negotiation cases and simulations we ensure the training is deeply rooted in practice.  High-level EU negotiation practitioners will offer you unique insights and advice based on their extensive experience in the field, helping you strengthen your negotiation expertise in the dynamic context of EU policymaking!

What will you learn?

  • Enhance your knowledge and skills in effectively representing your interests in the EU’s dynamic and multicultural environment.
  • Gain practical experience through simulations based on real-life EU negotiation cases.
  • Increase your impact in various negotiation settings, such as trilogues, working groups, or stakeholder dialogues.
  • Refine your negotiation style and strategy through direct feedback from trainers and peers.

You will be provided with a practical EU Negotiation Support Guide, a toolbox designed to prepare you for working at the negotiation table.
