  • In addition, the fellows attend professional skills training and can freely participate in the academic life and activities of the EUI to enhance their fellowship projects. At the same time, the fellows enrich the STG community by bringing their first-hand experiences to teaching, training and networking at the School.
  • Upon the completion of the programme, the fellows join a global alumni network of policy professionals and have access to lifelong training opportunities at the EUI.
