Letter of Invitation

The Model EU is a simulation of a European Council Summit. Teams made up of two undergraduate students playing the roles of representatives of EU member state delegations. This year, the students will negotiate issues that will be discussed during the Spanish Presidency of 2010 (The Programme of the Spanish Presidency). The 2010 Model EU will feature two concurrent summit negotiation sessions focusing on the following issues: financial regulation and common agricultural policy reform.  Additional details about the simulation scenario and campus event will be posted in the near future.

The 2010 West Coast Model EU is sponsored by the European Union Center of Excellence, the Center for West European Studies, and the Ellison Center for Russian, East European and Central Asian Studies at the Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington.
