This year we were pleased to welcome 27 students from all over the World. They came to Prague to participate on lectures and workshops led by Miloslav Had, Martin Shabu, Lukas Sedlacek, Patrik Zoltvany and also guest lecture of JUDr. Jiri Pehe.

"Thank you for the opportunity of undertaking the European Summer Institute on the Future of Europe. The lectures and discussions with student colleagues have made me even more confident about my professional goals. The lectures, especially on lobbying, have been very interesting and beneficial. They have encouraged me to pursue more detailed research in the field of lobbying within European Union. The discussion with my student colleagues provided an occasion to discuss current EU related issues, gain new and diverse perspectives and share my opinion and knowledge with others. As a result I am convinced that lobbying may offer me a new possibility for my future career.  I would also like to thank the programme assistants for their hard work and support they offered to the participants. Thank you for providing excellent learning opportunity."
