The aim of the summer school is to provide students a broad understanding on the historical development, the security, societal, political and philosophical dimensions of the Euro-Atlantic integration process.

Based on an interdisciplinary approach, the course combines different methodologies such as lectures, round-table discussions, group-work and students' presentations along with excursions to meet politicians as well as professionals.

The summer school is addressd to students with different academic backgrounds and a general interest in Euro-Atlantic integration but also to practitioners such as civil servants, communication experts, young politicians and even members of parliaments.
The course does not require special knowledge about NATO policies and institutions, European politics, law, history or culture, but participants should be interested in more than just their field of specialization.
