About the Clingendael European Studies Programme
The Clingendael European Studies Programme (CESP) develops, unites and disseminates topical expertise on European Union policy issues. Its research focuses on the political and administrative context of the European Union, the borders of the EU, current internal and external EU policy developments, and the position of The Netherlands in the enlarging Union.
The training programmes are specifically geared to the needs of its clients, in particular government officials working on European affairs. Through its wide national and international networks both in academia and in policy making, CESP brings together expertise to guarantee the quality of its research and training programmes. CESP also stimulates public and academic debate on European Union issues by organising conferences and seminars, as well as through its publications and contributions in the media.
