The call is especially tailored towards junior diplomats and/or officials working in the field of foreign policy and EU accession from Georgia, the Republic of Moldova, Ukraine and other candidate countries. 

The European Union Diplomatic Programme for the Enlargement Region is a full-time residential programme of five months that will be delivered by the College of Europe, Bruges Campus (Belgium), a world leading post-graduate institute specialised on EU affairs.

The costs for participation in the programme are covered by the College of Europe through funding from DG ENEST.
