Why should you attend the Summer School on EU Better Regulation?
EU Better Regulation Summer School 2024 on ‘Get yourself started for 2024-2029: how to work with evidence-based decision-making in the EU?’ is the perfect opportunity for everyone who will have to work with the policy agenda of the next Commission: public affairs professionals, civil servants, and many more.
We will dive into the details of the Better Regulation approach and the Impact Assessment process of the European Commission. This is coupled with practical tips and tricks on how to engage during this crucial stage of EU decision-making.
