For the fourth time already, Circle U. Chairs Dr Claudia Matthes (HU) and Prof. Edoardo Traversa (UCLouvain) gathered with their students in Louvain-la-Neuve for a block seminar lasting several days. After a virtual kick-off meeting, the students worked in mixed teams on site to develop the positions of multiple EU member states for COP 30 and then simulated a meeting of environment ministers to refine the EU's position for the negotiations. Input from experts guided the group work, and a visit to the European Commission including a discussion with two expert speakers rounded off the activity.

In November, Circle U. students met in Louvain-la-Neuve and simulated a meeting of EU environment ministers on the topic of ‘The EU at COP-30’. A visit to the European Commission in Brussels was another highlight of the seminar.
