Overview
What you will study
In a unique environment, the Unboxing the Commission - How to Understand and Engage with the EU Executive training offered by European University Institute (EUI) brings together three important vantage points: the academic analysis of Commission governance and operations; the "insiders' view"; and that of an outsider whose job is to have an impact on the Commission. Former members of the Commission services, including former President José Manuel Barroso, leading academics, and campaigners who have engaged with it across a host of areas will share their in-depth knowledge and experience with the participants in an interactive way.

The program focuses on:
- Obtain a full understanding of how the European Commission works in practice.
