Join us for our next ECA Special Event as we go behind the scenes of the European Union’s foreign policy. We are diving deep into the challenges of modern diplomacy and the strategic decisions that shape the EU’s voice on the global stage!

This time, we are truly honoured to welcome: Charlotte Materne, Political Assistant to the Director for Security and Defence Policy at the European Union External Action Service (EEAS).

With an extensive background in public policy and international relations, our Maastricht University Alumni guest offers a firsthand look at how the “Brussels bubble” interacts with the rest of the world. From high stakes negotiations to the quiet work of building international partnerships, this session will explore what it really means to represent the EU in 2026.

Whether you’re a EEAS fan or just curious about how a career in European diplomacy actually begins at Maastricht University (and where it can take you!) this is an opportunity you don’t want to miss.

Come prepared with your questions for an exclusive Q&A session! We can’t wait to see you all there!
