An informal working group of a select group of NYU Florence students led by Professor Nicolò Conti who will meet during the first half of the semester to discuss the EU on the Ground lectures and to explore how EU policy-making works in 2 policy focus areas - immigration and surveillance/data privacy. The students will produce a team written research brief on one of the two policy focus areas, which they will present to their peers, and will also travel to Luxembourg and Brussels to visit the EU Institutions.

You can apply through February 16 by sending an email to lapietra.dialogues@nyu.edu explaining why you would like to be part of the EU on the Ground Working Group and how it would enhance your studies at NYU Florence. Students admitted to the working group must attend three mandatory lectures and three working group sessions in order to be eligible for the trip to Luxembourg and Brussels. Students who participated in Fall 2014 are eligible.
