Thank you so much for this, it’s so helpful! It looks like an extensive library of useful links too.
I have a few questions:
Have you heard about the Impactful Policy Careers Workshop (and here too)? If yes, what’s your take on it? (it seems to stem from Training for Good but with different objectives and framework)
You talk about orgs in the EA space working on EU policies in Brussels, could you be more specific?
[edit] Do you recommend other ‘academic’ options besides the College of Europe? Heard about this one at Harvard, saw some on Coursera and other websites… Hard to see whether some are more valuable than others.
I think the Impactful Policy Careers workshop is a great way to dive deeper into the topic and connect with other EAs interested and working in the field.
Degrees from other prestigious schools in policy-related subjects (LSE, Sciences Po, Harvard Kennedy school, Oxford Blavatnik, etc.) can also give you an advantage and you meet many people having graduated from those in Brussels. I mentioned the College of Europe specifically as it is explicitly training graduates for EU policy and the network you can build there will be very relevant. I don’t know about online degrees—I’m not very confident they would distinguish your CV much, but the right ones might be a good learning opportunity.
