Welcome to the 2026-2028 Cohort!
The kickoff workshop of the Executive Master in EU Studies welcomed 30 of the 32 new students in Berlin on 16-18 October 2026. This year’s cohort is composed of students from18 nationalities with interesting professional backgrounds.
On Friday, our legal expert Edgar Lenski welcomed us at the Federal Chancellery to discuss his role in the coordination of Germany’s position within the European Union and to share his insights on the recent EU Council summit.
Over the weekend, our experts launched the academic year by presenting the first-term courses — a great opportunity for students and lecturers to meet in person before diving into the first term. Across the two days, Wolfgang Wessels and Darius Ribbe introduced The Institutional Architecture of the EU, Darius Ribbe presented The Fundamentals of Scientific Work, Edgar Lenski and Kai Kraus led An Introduction to European Law, and CIFE Director General Matthias Waechter began his course on The History of European Integration.
We would like to extend a big thank you to our highly motivated students and experts for their enthusiasm and commitment — we are looking forward to supporting them on their two-year journey!
