An information session for students interested in the 2012 European Union Study Tour and Internship Program will take place Tuesday, January 24th from 3:30 to 5:00 pm in room 749 York Research Tower.

The 9th European Union Study Tour and Internship Program will run from May 6-26, 2012 and provides a unique opportunity for students in a variety of disciplines–business, economics, international European politics, international relations and social policy–to immerse them in the European Union institutions as well as other related institutions. Students will have the opportunity to have “face to face” contact and dialogue with presenters and seminar leaders from the ranks of those actively involved in the day to day work of the EU, other European institutions, diplomatic representations to the EU (including Canada), policy think tanks, and civil society organizations.  Participants will experience the EU in action– by attending a hearing at the European Court of Justice, sessions at the European Parliament, and at the European Commission media sessions, and to mention only a few.

This information session will provide more details on the study tour and internship program, the application process and the financial support available to York participants.

For more details on either the information session or the program, please contact Prof. Dagmar Soennecken, York’s Faculty Coordinator of the EUSTI, at <dsoennec@yorku.ca>
