Study Tour Dates:聽 May 9-May 27, 2011
The European Union (EU) Study Tour is a joint initiative of the European Studies Network (Canada), a consortium of Canadian universities of which 杏吧原创 is a member. The Tour consists of 19 days in Europe, involving consultations at a wide range of European institutions in Brussels, Strasbourg, Luxembourg, and Frankfurt. Students participating in the Tour may apply to participate in an internship (2 months or more) in a European institution; internships take place after the Tour. 聽Internships are unpaid, however the Network hopes to provide a travel grant to successful internship applicants, dependent on confirmation of funding.
A detailed brochure about the Tour 聽and internship can be found on-line at this link .
