Students from Bucharest Business School visiting Brussels to connect theory with high-level European policy

Brussels – For the second consecutive year, the Master’s program in Business Intelligence (BI) at Bucharest Business School (BBS), part of the Bucharest University of Economic Studies (ASE), included a study visit to Brussels, designed to connect theory with high-level European policy.

Romanian students had the privilege of interacting with key EU leaders and institutions, gaining direct insight into the strategies shaping Europe’s future.

Among the highlights were the dialogue held at the European Parliament with the institution’s Vice President Victor Negrescu and the Vice President of the European People’s Party (EPP) group in the EP, Siegfried Mureşan, where future strategic directions for 2025-2026 were explored, the visit to the European Economic and Social Committee, briefing sessions at the Egmont Institute, focusing on geopolitical forecasts and EU diplomacy, and the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies.

Students also had the opportunity to engage in a forward-looking conversation about transport, tourism, sustainability, and EU policy in the field of road transport with Filip-Alexandru Negreanu-Arboreanu from the European Commission’s DG – MOVE.

In a rapidly changing global context, the EU is increasing its focus on economic security, defense resilience, and technological independence. From the European Defense Strategy to the Economic Security Strategy, the continent is clearly investing in long-term stability, innovation, and sovereignty, concluded the students following their visit to Brussels, according to an online post on Monday by BBS.
