The course “Lobbying in the EU” offers an introduction to the lobbying practices in the field of European platform governance. In the theoretical part, students explore the relationship between EU institutions and lobbying organizations and learn to identify the main approaches for lobbying practices in the EU, “strategic reading” of EU legislative texts as well as conduct analysis of Position Papers. The course will include two to three guest speakers from the European Public Policy Sphere who will give insights on real-life on the ground experience and will allow the students to ask questions and receive advice on necessary skills-sets that are useful when wanting to strive for a career in the EU-Public Policy sector. Finally, the course holds a practical part, during which the students will work in groups on a practical legal case. They will explore policy papers and briefs and will ultimately develop their own lobbying strategy in Brussels as well as an academic deep-dive.
