Policy Competition
Deepen the discussion – widen the network
The EPIS Policy Competition bridges the gap between theory and practice, empowering students—from Bachelor to PhD level—to transform research into actionable solutions. Participants craft formal policy proposals and defend them before a distinguished panel of experts from diplomacy, academia, and industry. This journey hones strategic communication and offers a career-defining prize: the winning team will present their proposal directly to influential EU policy-makers in Brussels.
