Dear Members of the EPP Group in the CoR,

The European People's Party Group in the Committee of the Regions of the European Union is holding the sixth edition of its very successful study visit for students enrolled in Masters degrees in the field of European Studies, Political Science and International Relations. The 3-day visit will take place in Brussels from 1-3 April 2014, alongside the CoR Plenary Session, and will include debates with representatives from the EU Committee of the Regions, European Parliament and European Commission. It will be concluded by a visit to the Council. We would be very grateful if you could circulate the information among the universities in your regions, cities and municipalities. The information is available on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/EPPGroupCoR and our Twitter account https://twitter.com/EPP_CoR for easy redistribution on social media. We are convinced that students have to be actively involved in the debate on Europe and that the European Union institutions must provide opportunities for them to participate in the European project. This is particularly relevant ahead of the European Elections in May where many of these students will be eligible to vote for the first time.

The working language for the visit will be English and all costs for travel and accommodation will be met by the Committee of the Regions. Please note that we can only accept applications from EU citizens and that the closing date is Friday 7 March 2014.

Further information, the terms and conditions and the application form can be found on our website. 

Should you need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact the secretariat.

With kind regards,
