Online Courses: Courses on offer

The European Online Academy is not only virtual. The core curriculum will be provided online, but also through four "presence workshops" (in Rome, Prague, Brussels and Berlin). In this way face-to-face learning complements e-learning. The core curriculum is linked to relevant contents and it serves - beyond "classic" lectures and seminars - as a new and innovative way of teaching and learning EU-related issues.
