What enrolling commits you to
Attendance across six 90-minute seminars and the 120-minute closing simulation, a short informal reflection after each of the first six sessions, and an individual written submission to an active EU public consultation in December 2026 — prepared with this cohort's external stakeholder. Completion is recognised with a Certificate, not a grade; the module carries no ECTS credits and does not appear on your diploma supplement.
