European Impact of the Haage Hogeschool launches 'Retourtje Brussel' ('Return trip to Brussels'); an accessible booklet that gives insight into how nine Dutch people in different roles are active around European decision-making.
Authors Mendeltje van Keulen and Chris Aalbers both have decades of experience with 'Brussels'. Based on their conversations with professionals, they show the reader why it is relevant to sit at the table with policymakers in Brussels. If you understand the Brussels process, your impact can be huge.
'Retourtje Brussel' provides a transparent look at how policy is created in Brussels and how you, as an organisation, can play a serious role in this process. Through nine interviews with the people who are 'in the business' everyday, the authors take the reader into the heart of European decision-making.
Mendeltje van Keulen says of the content: "Retourtje Brussel has that name because, as professionals in Dutch organisations, we need to realise how important it is to have a seat at the table in Brussels with European policymakers. It does not have to cost more than a train ticket Netherlands-Brussels. Access to the EU is free."
'Retourtje Brussel' is available in bookshops and online including at:
