Introduction
European Union has created a single market for goods among fifty hundred million consumers and is reshaping network industries and financial markets. The Union has grown from six to 27 countries, thirteen of which now share a single currency. European companies are among the global leaders in most industries. 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 a 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.
The Autumn School 2011 is organised in collaboration with the Faculty of Law of the University of Turin and the Turin Chamber of Commerce, under the auspicies of the University of Fribourg (Switzerland), the European Policy Centre and the European Training Foundation.
