You will get an overview of agenda setting in the EU and the political rhythmÌýof theÌýupcoming changes. You will find out how agenda setting works in the field of climate policy works in practice. In an interactive exercise you will simulate how different actors engageÌýwith policymakers in an effort to shape the EU’s new agenda. There will also be time for a Q&A on careers in European policy.
