Feedback from 2008 visitors:

The EU Studies Fair is definitely the “must” event where the most prestigious universities are gathered in the field of European Studies and International Relations. If your career is likely to be oriented in that direction, you cannot miss it!! P.I.

The fair was definitely more than just a collection of leaflets. It was interesting to learn more about the concours of the Commission. And it was great fun to look for my university among the network of the Schuman Centres of Excellence and to compare it with other higher education institutions. The workshop on the European CV gave me useful insight into what human resource managers are looking for. L.B.
