The Trans European Policy Studies Association (TEPSA), the first European affairs research network based in Brussels, invites all interested students to apply for this year’s Academy on EU Equality and Anti-Discrimination Policy. This five-day immersive seminar will take place in person in Brussels between 2 and 6 June 2025. The first four days will feature a programme of expert lectures, panel debates, and visits to key EU institutions. Dedicated sessions for analysis and discussion within the group will take place throughout the week to reflect critically on the insights gained during lectures and meetings. The last day will be devoted to a hands-on skills training lab with an expert trainer.
TEPSA is eager to welcome a group of 15-20 students and recent graduates to experience EU policy-making up close in the heart of Europe, bringing them in direct contact with key debates and stakeholders actively shaping decision-making in this sector. Participants will have the chance to strengthen their substantive knowledge, expand their professional network, and acquire valuable soft skills that will enrich their academic and career prospects. Further information, including a draft programme, can be found here.
To apply, prospective participants must fill out a form detailing their motivation and their experience. The call will remain open until Sunday, 6 April 2025.
