Jean Monnet Module PLAT.EU

Summer School PLAT-EU 2024

The Jean Monnet Module PLAT.EU, held by the School of Advanced Studies on Cultures, Politics and Democracy of UnitelmaSapienza and funded by the European Union, wants to implement the awareness and the knowledge about the EU legal tools aimed at assuring the openness of the decision-making process. To reach this goal, within the Module PLAT.EU an intensive summer school will be organized, for 3 consecutive years, aimed at PhD students, young scholars and professionals in the sector that feel strongly about democracy, institutions and open society.

The Summer School will take place from the 1 st to the 5th of July 2024 at Sapienza University of Rome (Italy), one of the oldest existing universities – founded in 1303 – and the largest university in Europe. The classes will be held in English at Sapienza’s main campus (Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5, Rome), just a few metro stops away from the capital’s historic centre. Some classes, simulations and role-plays will be exceptionally held at the Italian Parliament and in the Ministries’ HQ.

The first edition of the Summer School will focus on the legislation on lobbying in the EU institutions, compared to the regulations in the EU Member States. The lessons (40 hours in total) will be highly interactive. Students will be involved in discussions, simulations, role-plays, and exercises based on how European decision making processes work. The course will cover a variety of topics, such as the EU decision-making process, transparency participation and techniques of lobbying in the EU, comparative lobbying law, ethics and anti-corruption mechanisms. In order to familiarize with the course’s broader themes, all selected participants must follow online preparatory seminars (16 hours in total). These lessons will be recorded and will be available for downloading on the project website.

All selected participants will receive a scholarship to cover the Summer School participation fees. Participants are responsible for their own travel, visa, meals, and accommodation fees. Upon request, the University can provide accommodation suggestions.

In addition, it has been launched a call for proposals aimed to create the Jean Monnet PLAT.EU logo. Please find all the necessary information below.
