It takes a real professional to work effectively with and within the European Union. European Impact helps organizations and (future) professionals to develop the skills it takes to master ‘the European’ in their daily work. We combine training courses, research, services and events.
‘‘Mastering the European Profession’’
Research & Expertise
Our applied research group Changing Role of Europe at the Hague University of Applied Sciences studies the practical aspects of European professionalism. The research knowledge is used to educate a new generation of professionals. Our team integrates multiple disciplines like European studies, public management, business administration, political science, communication and (international) law.
Services
How do I stay ‘in touch’ with everything that is going on in Brussels? How can my organization influence European decision-making in a timely and effective matter? European Impact Hub offers a range of services to professionals and organizations in the Netherlands and abroad to help them professionalize their work in the European Union.
