IntroductionIntroduction
The recent enlargement to new Member States and the new Treaty of Lisbon represent another challenging phase in the development of the European Union.
Such developments, together with the achievement of a single market, require a new approach to human resources development. Today, all those aspiring to top positions, be it in the industry or in services, need to be well versed in EU legal proceedings, in the regulations and procedures of single market, as well as in means to access EU resources.
This programme focuses on European regulatory framework to be considered when doing business in Europe.
EU rights and obligations of business will be considered from a multidisciplinary approach, focusing on legal-economic implications with a look at the political backgrounds.
The programme launched as a post-graduate training course in 2005 by the University Institute of European Studies and the Centre for Studies on Federalism, has been supported by Compagnia di San Paolo and Intesa San Paolo.
The University of Turin, the University of Fribourg (Switzerland), the Carlo Cattaneo University, the Universidad de Lima, the European Training Foundation and the European Policy Centre, have been supporting this initiative, giving their patronage since the very beginning of the initiative.
