The Intensive Programme will take place in an interdisciplinary seminar setting, supported by a state of the art distance-learning environment. This Intensive Programme is a unique project in up to date philosophy training. It builds upon the well-established reputations in the field of ethics and politics, as well as on extensive experience in teaching philosophy at universities where innovative juridical, economic and political research is carried out.

The project is case oriented, interdisciplinary, contextualised for European policy issues, focussed on group collaboration, IT supported and research driven Students will complement their skills in reading philosophical texts by developing new ones: arguing principled views on key-issues within EU policy making. Focussing on (Member State related) case studies derived from EU policy, the specific competences of the various institutes are brought to bear on conceptual interdependencies and tensions between democracy and knowledge.

This IP builds on a long-standing agreement of cooperation between the five institutes including student- and staff exchange, acquisition of funds and quality assessment. A special task force recruited from the five will manage the project.
