EU Newsbrief: A call for applications

Call for Applications: 2009 EU Visitors Program

The European Union Visitors Program (EUVP) provides professionals in their
mid-twenties to mid-forties who have career-related interests in the EU with a
unique opportunity to spend 5-8 days in Brussels learning how the EU works from the
inside through an extensive program, which includes meeting specialists in fields of
their choice.

Since its institution in 1974, more than 600 Americans have participated in the
EUVP, which provides an invaluable career-enhancing opportunity - especially for
those interested in the policy areas with which the European Union is concerned.
These range from classic foreign policy issues, like the Middle East, to consumer
protection, product safety, trade, anti-trust law, agriculture, public health and
cross-border crimes.

All programs are coordinated and arranged by the EUVP Secretariat, taking individual
participants' professional interests and future involvement with the European
institutions into consideration. The deadline for 2009 participation is March 1,
2008.
