Course overview
The CEPS Summer School offers a truly European setting in which participants can deepen their understanding of key EU policy issues. This year’s course will cover selected issues on economic policy and financial governance, focusing on the rationale and the interests underpinning the ongoing policy debate, the market mechanisms at work and upcoming challenges. Potential shifts in current policies induced by the new composition of the European Parliament and the new leadership of the Commission will also be debated.
The CEPS Summer School stretches over 6 days. Each day will offer frontal lectures and technical seminars, led by our in-house experts, and complemented by seminars and discussions with EU policymakers and visits to the EU institutions. Teaching is accompanied by group interactions aiming to upgrade knowledge and skills by sharing views and expertise and by addressing real-life policy issues. This will make the course inspiring and fun.

- Economic and financial governance of the EU: the institutional framework
- EMU economic issues: ECB monetary policy and sovereign debt sustainability
- The Banking Union: how institutions work in practice
- Developments in EU financial markets: CMU, financial integration, digital transformation in financial services
