General description

The Jean Monnet Module 'Stepping Stones to Working Life in the Field of EU–Russia Relations (STEPIN)' is designed to be an innovative bridge between the final stages of university studies at the Master’s level and the professional life. STEPIN consists of an intensive, one-week tailor-made training course on EU issues (EU–Russia relations in particular) with special relevance for the students’ professional life. Focusing on skills and knowledge in a transversal sense, the training course provides the students with a concrete introduction to professional life in the academia, research institutes, administration, policy-making and the private sector. In terms of methodology, STEPIN is a hands-on training course that emphasises learning by doing and active, intertwined participation by the students, the teaching staff and visitors. It is based on actual career paths and experiences from various work environments in the field of EU–Russia relations.
