The intensive two-week online Winter School on EU Policy Making takes place from  Monday 11 January to Friday 22 January 2027. 

Rooted in the interdisciplinary field of European studies, this Winter School provides participants with a ‘crash course’ in European Union Policy Making, building on the long-standing expertise of the similar (offline) Summer School that the Brussels School of Governance and its partners have organised for more than 20 years. The Winter School is taught fully online, and its 2027 edition focuses on the EU's tech policies, touching on policy discussions related to freedom of expression, data governance, artificial intelligence, disinformation resilience, platform responsibility, as well as digital sovereignty and development.

The tuition fee for the Winter School is:

  • 1720 EUR for students who are currently enrolled in a degree programme (Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD) at a higher education institution
  • 2220 EUR for professionals and other applicants who are not currently enrolled in a degree programme.

This programme is organised by the Brussels School of Governance (VUB).
