Munich European Forum Associations 7th Annual Brussels European Forum April 6-12, 2008 (4th week of Easter Break)

Application open to 2nd, 3rd years and All Post-Graduates

The Brussels European Forum brings students together from all over Europe who are united in their interest in European integration and international politics. The conference is more then just a simulation, it is an opportunity to meet with actual policymakers and experts of EU Institutions and NATO Command where you can gain unique insider perspectives of the political bodies and issues being discussed.

This year's theme focuses on 'Russia and China, What are Europe’s roles in today’s globalised world as a security and economic actor towards these two actors.' Trade, security and energy security dominate the political and international interactions between China and Russia on the one hand, and Europe and North America on the other hand. There are three committee simulations; North Atlantic Council, European Council, and European Parliament

Students will be given a country other then their origin to represent. Students will be expected to prepare extensively and engage in highly intellectual debate and discussion. We are seeking serious applicants who are committed to attending, participating, and representing not only themselves but Grimshaw.

There will also be some opportunities for sightseeing and exploration of Brussels, but the focus of this trip is the simulations.
