This grand building is full of maritime glamour, but it’s not just a pretty (impressive) face.»

As you will see, our course programme has been slightly adjusted compared to the generic version contained in the infopack – owed to, amongst others, the need to accommodate and respond to the anniversary of the Council of Europe’s Foundation: On May 5, 1949 the Treaty of London was signed, establishing the Council of Europe, by ten states: Belgium, Denmark, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
