EuroSimTM is an annual international,
intercollegiate
simulation of the European Union (EU). This conference
brings together over 225
students and faculty from
more
than 20 colleges and universities in the United States
and Europe,
offering participants a unique
opportunity to
work and learn in an exciting multicultural environment.
In addition, by bringing American
and European students
together, EuroSim provides students with first-hand
experience in transatlantic
relations.
Each EuroSim event
has a specific theme related to the real-world
policy agenda of the EU,
helping students
to deepen their knowledge
of the EU and hone their public
speaking, negotiating, leadership and diplomatic skills.
EuroSim takes place
over four days with its location rotating among
host institutions in Europe and North
America. EuroSim
2012 was
hosted by Wthe University of Lower Silesia in Wroclaw, Poland. EuroSim 2013 was hosted by East Stroudsburg University,
