5 Welcome. Europe s leading centre of excellence on European integration and the new challenges for public management. Following the ever growing need to develop skills and acquire knowledge, whilst moving from traditional classroom training towards a distance learning environment, EIPA offers in this catalogue a range of e-learning courses on several subjects. The e-learning modules aim to provide you in the most effective and learner-centered way, with a clear understanding of various topics. In addition to the clearly structured content the e-learning modules offer you a glossary, reading materials, background documents, links and plenty opportunity for interaction and self-evaluation. The EIPA e-campus is the heart of our blended learning and e-learning solutions. It offers you access to e-learning modules that are either stand-alone modules or form part of a blended learning programme to complement face-to-face courses. In addition to the open enrolment e-learning modules presented in this catalogue, EIPA can deliver in various languages tailor-made e-learning or blended learning courses, fitting the specific needs of the customer. We help you to meet the challenges of Europe! 5
6 Learning methodology The pedagogical objective of the e-modules is to provide learners, in the most effective and learner-centred way, with a clear understanding of the various topics. Effective knowledge transfer is achieved by (1) a clear and user-friendly presentation of the materials, (2) self-evaluation tests and (3) providing additional features to deepen the learning experience. 1. A clear and user-friendly presentation of materials: the content is clearly structured and there is constant access to navigation bars and the table of content; the content is enriched by images, graphics, physical objects to represent abstract concepts, animations as well as a personalised and active voice, which presents the materials in an easy to understand language; all features of the modules (e.g. content, structure, navigation, etc.) are designed to generate an intuitive grasp of how the module is to be operated if more clarification is required a help function is available throughout the entire module; access to a glossary with succinct explanations of the relevant terms used in the module. 2. Entry and exit self-evaluation tests with corrective feedback: the purpose of the entry test is to stimulate the participant to actively consider the topic of the module and to assess the level of pre-existing knowledge; the exit test is there to allow the participant (and module organisers) to verify their understanding of what has been studied and assess how well the participant has internalised the content; the corrective feedback linked to the exit test enables subsequent and additional learning and allows the participant to adjust their understanding in light of the feedback. 3. Additional features to deepen the learning experiences: the modules offer access to additional sources of information, namely relevant publications, official documents, background documents, relevant external links, etc. the modules offer a variety of pop-up screens with specific information on relevant treaty articles and information sources; the modules offer a media archive with expert hints and videos. 6
7 The e-modules are learner-centred, with due respect to usability rules. Based on usability principles, the following guidelines were applied in the design of course layouts, interactions and content: Perception: information and controls of applications are always available Use: information and controls of applications are easy to understand and use Consistence: symbols, icons, alerts, messages and actions have the same meaning throughout the course Safety: course features are safe and ensure the user s psychophysical wellness Learnability: every module has features that allow for instructions regarding its proper use, in a short time and with a little effort Help and documentation: there are help functions to support the user. Help information is easy to find and is learner-centred Pleasantness: every module is designed to maintain and increase user interest Flexibility: every module is designed considering individual needs and different learning contexts Orientation: the learner can always determine easily where he/she is located in the module, and can select the asset tools from every screen Clarity: the language used in the modules is direct, based on short paragraphs, and the concepts are well defined Transparency: it is always clear to the learner what is happening in the module (with alerts, pop-ups, etc.), system responses are fast, and learners are informed in the case of events, such as forced navigation Visual and architectural clarity: every module is organised based on learning objectives; design and layout are clear and not redundant; a sufficient amount of blank space is guaranteed on every screen so as to avoid full text pages. On top of the high quality of content and the pedagogical aims of e-modules, the audience s characteristics are an important guideline in defining the correct approach and the main e-learning strategies, as well as the interface design and the navigation criteria. The users of the e-learning modules are a multilingual audience, widely distributed geographically, with different professional profiles and not completely or homogenously experienced in using PCs and/or e-learning for their training needs. In terms of navigation, our e-learning courses are simple and intuitive. The high quality content is offered in a solid and transparent e-learning structure with well defined objectives. 7
8 EU Decision-Making Institutions of the European Union 13/710/01 This course covers the fundamentals of the EU institutions. It is directed equally at newcomers to EU affairs or the EU institutions, as well as at practitioners seeking to refresh and update their knowledge, especially relating to the changes following the implementation of the Treaty of Lisbon. This course presents the basic features of all seven EU institutions and also includes the two advisory bodies. It addresses each of the institutions with regard to their: composition; structures; tasks. The European Parliament, Commission, Council and European Council are covered in more detail than the other institutions. The main feature of the course is a direct comparability of the institutions with regard to composition, structure and tasks, thereby contributing to an easier understanding of the division of roles among them. After the course, participants will have a clear and in-depth comprehension of the division of roles among the EU institutions, stemming from an understanding of the differences in their composition, structures and tasks. Participants will also have a grasp of the novelties introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon, as well as issues surrounding their implementation and consolidation. 8
9 EU Decision-Making The European Commission: Policy Preparation and Internal Decision-Making 13/710/04 Public and private actors engaging with the European Commission or involved in EU public policy-making. The module offers an insight into the decision-making processes within the European Commission. The presentation starts with the key roles of the Commission and explains how each of these roles is carried out. The module presents the different steps in Commission policy preparation, from consultation to impact assessments and to adoption of measures by the College of Commissioners. The following topics are covered in this e-learning module: the Union method; the role of the European Commission; the principles of collegiality and administrative unity; the planning cycle; Impact Assessments; external consultation; internal consultation; adoption procedures; useful websites.

It is directed equally at newcomers to EU affairs or the EU institutions, as well as at practitioners seeking to refresh and update their knowledge on the Council and the European Council, especially relating to the changes following the implementation of the Treaty of Lisbon. This course presents in detail the basic features of the Council and the European Council. It addresses each of them with regard to their: composition; structures; tasks; working methods. The Council is covered in more detail than the European Council. The added value of the course is that it looks beyond the composition and tasks by also reviewing working methods, i.e. programming and flow of documents, including the actors involved in the process. After the course, participants will be able to clearly understand the difference and division of tasks between the European Council and the Council, as well as gaining an understanding of the life of a dossier in the Council machinery and being able to identify the relevant actors in different stages of the dossier. 11
12 EU Decision-Making The Leadership Architecture: Multiple Presidencies 13/710/03 This course explains the tasks and relationships at the top of the EU. It is directed equally at newcomers to EU affairs or the EU institutions, as well as at practitioners seeking to refresh and update their knowledge on the institutional set-up and in particular on relations between the President of the European Council, the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, the Commission President and the rotating Presidency. This course analyses the current leadership architecture in the European Union, namely the pyramid formed by the President of the European Council, the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, the Commission President and the rotating Presidency. We look into: post descriptions in the Treaties and implementing acts; working methods and relations among the actors; practices established since the Lisbon Treaty entered into force. The added value of the course is that it looks beyond the composition and tasks by also reviewing working methods, i.e. the programming and flow of documents, including the actors involved in the process. After the course, participants will be able to clearly understand the difference and division of tasks between the actors holding the leading positions in the EU, as well as gaining an understanding of what the rules prescribe and how the holders of the offices have managed to shape their roles and their relations since the Treaty of Lisbon entered into force. 12
13 EU Decision-Making Ordinary Legislative Procedure 13/710/08 The module is suitable for all those interested in obtaining an understanding of EU legislative procedures. This module is about the Ordinary Legislative Procedure of the European Union. This is the procedure by which most EU laws are agreed between the EU institutions, on the basis of objectives and competences agreed upon between the Member States in the EU Treaty. The module has three sections. The first section explains what we mean by legislative procedures in the EU context; The second section looks at how the ordinary legislative procedure works in practice; The third section illustrates this with an example the negotiation in 2010 of the Regulation giving effect to the new European Citizens Initiative which was introduced by the Lisbon Treaty. By the end of the module, students will understand the roles of the different institutional actors involved in EU legislative procedures; and they will have a clear overview of the various stages of the procedure, as well as an appreciation of the formal and informal aspects of the inter-institutional negotiating process. 13
14 EU Decision-Making From Comitology to Delegated and Implementing Acts 13/710/09 This e-module on delegated and implementing acts is directed at civil servants from EU Member States, candidate countries and the EU institutions, as well as at other stakeholders requiring a basic understanding of the new EU rules on implementing and delegated acts This e-module on delegated and implementing acts aims to update those participants already familiar with the old comitology system, on the developments instigated by the Treaty of Lisbon. It will equip participants with the knowledge to understand how implementing and delegated acts work. It begins by quickly recapping why powers are delegated to the European Commission in the first place, and why it is increasingly important in European affairs for all stakeholders interested in European policy-making. It then takes a brief look at the old comitology system in order to situate Articles 290 and 291 TFEU, and to understand the scale of the changes that have taken place. Next, it directly addresses the two new legal bases and how they have been implemented. It starts with Article 290 on Delegated Acts, explaining what they are and how the new procedure will work in practise. Following that it turns to Article 291 and the new Implementing Acts Regulation i.e. the new comitology procedures. To conclude, it outlines the major challenges and opportunities that stakeholders need to be aware of for the future. At the end of the e-module on delegated and implementing acts, subscribers will have a solid knowledge and a sound understanding of how both implementing and delegated acts work. 14
15 EU Decision-Making European Information Management 13/710/10 This course is designed for all those who need to be able to find EU information quickly and/ or to update their research skills in EU-related matters: EU officials, national civil servants, consultants, information professionals, documentalists, translators, as well as people working in the commercial sector and for NGOs. This course is an introduction to the key information sources and will help you in finding out about the institutions, laws and policies of the European Union. We will look at the information sources of the EU Institutions and the most useful websites for following EU developments.

By the end of this course, you will have a good knowledge of the key EU information sources, and will be able to find EU legislation and case law, news on the latest events and initiatives in the EU and policy information. 15
16 EU Decision-Making Regions and Multilevel Governance in the EU 13/760/01 This course is relevant for officials from all administrations at central, regional and local level, in particular those whose work is linked to policy-making, implementation and evaluation of European strategies and rules and its implementation at national/regional level. This course analyses Multilevel Governance (the conceptual tool to help understand the dispersion of governance across multiple jurisdictions) within the EU after the last European Treaty (the Lisbon Treaty). By transforming institutional multilayered participatory practices existing in primary law, the Treaty calls for a reinforcement of the European and national channels for implementing regional powers in partnerships. The Europe of the States is now being completed by a wave of strengthened regional authorities in what is already labelled as the era of regionalisation. By the end of this course, participants will acquaint themselves with: the concept of Multilevel Governance (MLG) in the EU and its implementation by the European institutions (before and after Lisbon); the extent and ways through which a region or city can influence after Lisbon EU lawmaking processes. The course highlights the different mechanisms which facilitate the exercise of regional competences in a multilevel framework. 16
17 EU Decision-Making EU Public Finance 13/710/06 Public and private actors engaging with the European institutions or involved in EU public policy-making. This e-learning module presents the main legal documents and instruments necessary for understanding budgetary decision-making in the EU. The financial provisions in the treaty and the basic legal instruments governing the revenue and expenditure in the EU are discussed. The module presents the key characteristics of the EU budget; it introduces key budgetary concepts and makes the link with important debates on future own resources and the multiannual financial framework. The following topics are covered in this e-learning module: the financial treaty revisions; the Own Resources Decision (ORD); the interinstitutional agreement on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (IIA); the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF); the Financial Regulation (FR); characteristics of the EU budget; Strategic Planning and Programming (SPP); important upcoming budgetary events.

18 EU Policies EU Rules on State Aid 13/730/01 The module explains the concept of state aid and the obligations of public authorities to notify any measure containing state aid to the European Commission for authorisation. The module is relevant to policy makers and officials managing public subsidies and other measures of support of enterprises or regions. A measure constitutes state aid in the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union when it satisfies all of the criteria which are defined in that Article. Therefore the module analyses the criteria of: state resources; undertakings and the nature of economic activity; advantage and reduction of normal costs; selectivity; effect on intra-eu trade; distortion of competition. It is very important to understand how these criteria are interpreted and applied in practice because they cover any public measure irrespective of its policy aim or form. Participants learn to apply the logic of the EU system of state aid control. This system has a very wide scope and assesses public measures solely on their compliance with the criteria outlined above. 18
19 EU Policies Public-Private Partnerships - A key tool for Europe /720/01 This module is aimed at public officials from national, sub-national and local authorities and other public bodies from the EU Member States and candidate countries, and from European institutions and organisations, who wish to familiarise themselves with what Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) are and the role they are expected to play in the delivery of the Europe 2020 agenda. It should also be of interest to private sector providers, professional advisers and academics. Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) are already well established in Europe as a way of delivering public services. And now they have moved firmly up the European political agenda as a key tool for delivering Europe s infrastructure needs in the coming decade, such as the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) programme, energy distribution and transmission networks and smart grids and to achieve EU broadband targets. These are estimated to be likely to cost between 1.5 trillion and 2 trillion). In this module Michael Burnett, who has led EIPA s PPP activities for the past six years, explains what PPP are and the role they could play in modernising European infrastructure quickly. At the end of this module participants will have a basic introduction to: what PPP are and why they are being used. how they are different from other means of delivering infrastructure. current EU policy in respect of PPP. how PPP are relevant to the delivery of the Europe 2020 agenda. 19

Participants will also be aware of the principal challenges facing the policy area, including questions of competence and coherence that arise for EU external action as a whole. 23
24 EU Policies The Common Security and Defence Policy 13/730/06 This e-learning course is mainly targeted at EU and national officials who are working in the areas of foreign and security policy and crisis management but also welcomes officials from third countries working with the EU in this field. The former European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) became the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) with the advent of the Lisbon Treaty. As such, CSDP represents a codification of many existing practices under ESDP. The treaty introduces the idea of permanent structured cooperation, a mutual defence clause, the solidarity clause as well as specific arrangements for enhanced cooperation. It is also worth noting the increasingly pivotal role of the European Defence Agency. But, is this all just window dressing or do they introduce fundamental changes to the conduct of EU crisis management? The module will be organised around the following topical sections: general overview of the origins of ESDP; practical lessons and challenges arising from ESDP; the Mutual Assistance clause; the Solidarity Clause; Permanent Structured Cooperation; challenges and opportunities ahead. By the end of this e-learning course the participants will have enhanced their understanding of CSDP, they will be conversant with the main developments and the principal challenges.
