College of Europe graduates often achieve positions of leadership in government and business.
In order to prepare students for the tasks they will have to carry out and the challenges they are likely to encounter after their studies, the Department of European Economic Studies organises a series of lectures on how economic reasoning and tools are used in policy formulation, policy enforcement and in business strategy.
