As you know, the Alumni Office, the MA in European Public Affairs and UM Campus Brussels, in collaboration with Dr Alan Hardacre, are delighted to continue their series of events for UM alumni working or interested in public affairs in Brussels. The goal of these events is to enable you to continue your professional development, and enlarge your career horizons, by allowing you to interact with senior public affairs professionals and discuss key lobbying trends and topics with fellow alumni.

After gathering interest from alumni, we are pleased to confirm that the next session of “Meet the Lobbyist” will take place on 21 March from 18:30 until 21:00. As a reminder, the “Meet the Lobbyist” events feature prominent lobbyists who present and discuss their work. They address issues such as the constraints they have faced, how they have overcome critical problems, what lobbying tools they have used and value, what has not worked and more generally to try and share insights and experience.
