Course overview
The CEPS Summer School 2017 on Economic and Financial Governance of the EMU is a week-long training programme that aims to sharpen participants’ understanding of the main challenges facing the EU today.

Programme
The programme will analyse each of these areas from a policy perspective. Lectures and workshops led by Daniel Gros, Cinzia Alcidi, Paul De Grauwe and other CEPS researchers will be complemented by lectures and discussions with EU officials and policymakers from the ECB, European Commission, EU Council and European Parliament. Visits to the EU institutions, interactive sessions and games will make the week interesting and fun.
Each day will offer 4 hours of case studies, discussion groups, lectures and an interactive session or technical seminar – a total of 30 hours of lectures, plus the closing lecture and certificate awards.
