Start of the 22nd Edition of the Diploma in Advanced European Studies (DAES)

The Advanced European Studies master programme (DAES) was officially opened on 14 october 2024, with speeches by Cesare Azzali (President of the European College), Alfredo De Feo (Scientific Director) and Marco Ziliotti (Administrative Director).

The atmosphere was charged with enthusiasm for the start of this new academic journey. New students from diverse backgrounds have embarked on a transformative journey in the field of European Affairs.

The DAES programme is renowned for its rigorous curriculum and high-level faculty, providing students with tools and knowledge to excel in this dynamic sector.

Throughout the academic year, students will participate in a variety of courses, workshops and seminars designed to deepen their understanding of EU institutions and policies, as well as of the multiple challenges which EU is now called to face. Specific emphasis is given to practical experience : students are encouraged to carry out internships and to engage in collaborative projects with various organizations and bodies.

In addition to academic commitments, the DAES community has always offered a vibrant social environment, fostering connections that extend beyond the classroom. Networking events and conferences will further enrich the experience, allowing students to interact with leading experts and practitioners.

By welcoming this new cohort, the European College of Parma Foundation expresses its pledge to continue supporting the academic and professional growth of recent graduates. And it certainly does not mean to stop there.
