Master in European Integration and Regionalism - deadline open 

Dear all, 

After a successful start in 2003, we have the pleasure to inform you
about the launching of the second academic year of the Masters programme
in European Integration and Regionalism. 

The programme is offered by the University of Graz (www.kfunigraz.ac.at)
and implemented in cooperation with the European Academy of Bolzano
(www.eurac.edu/org/Minorities/index.htm) and the European Institute of
Public Administration, Antenna Luxembourg (www.eipa.nl). 

The CORE TOPICS are: 

- Module I: European Integration (2 residential weeks in
August/September 2004) 
- Module II: EU Law (2 residential weeks in November 2004) 
- Module III: Federalism and Regionalism (2 residential weeks in January
2005) 
- Module IV: Regional and Social Cohesion (2 residential weeks in March
2005) 
- Module V: Minority Protection and Cultural Diversity (2 residential
weeks in June 2005) 

Three of the five modules will take place in Bolzano/Italy, two in
Luxemburg. 
A limited number of scholarships are available. 
Applications can be made either to the full programme or to single
modules. In the latter case, attendance of a module will lead to the
award of a certificate.  

DEGREE 
Successful participants of the Masters programme will be awarded by the
University of Graz, the academic degree of a "Master of European
Studies" (M.E.S.).

TARGET GROUP 

- Civil servants from local, regional or national administrations who
primarily work with EU law and therefore require both theoretical and
practical training in EU and regional issues; 

- Lawyers, economists, social scientists and others in the employment of
non-governmental organisations wishing to enhance inter-disciplinary
skills and to specialise on different aspects of European integration,
regionalism and diversity; 

- Graduate students wishing to acquire a more in-depth understanding of
EU and regional issues, beneficial for a future career in academia or
even practice-orientated work. 

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION 
For the academic year 2004/05: 31 May 2004. 

START OF THE PROGRAMME 
The first module of the academic year 2004/05 will start on 30 August
2004. 

Further information about the programme as well as the application form
can be found at www.eurac.edu/meir. 

We would appreciate if you would disseminate information about the
Masters programme to anyone who may be interested in participating.

With kind regards, 

Emma Lantschner
