The course pays particular attention to the legal implications of the recently proclaimed EU’s open strategic autonomy in sensitive areas, from trade or competition to cybersecurity. This course is taught by the Chair holder and team members and will benefit from guest speakers for some of the sessions, including Commission officials and distinguished university professors that have already agreed to participate. The seminar is aimed primarily at university students of different Bachelor’s Degrees (Law, International Relations, Political Science, Economics, Sociology…), as well as civil servants and professionals in businesses and consultancy firms who wish to gain a deeper knowledge of the EU’s external action priorities.
