Governmental Economics Tour 2025-2026

About 

The Governmental Economics Tour (GET) is a three-day event focused on the intersection of economics, public policy, and international governance. The tour is designed to give students an in-depth look into the workings of large (semi-)public institutions and international policy organisations, while bridging the gap between academic knowledge and real-world policy challenges. 

During the tour, participants will engage directly with professionals who work on complex economic and political issues at the national and European level. Through interactive sessions, discussions, and company visits, you will gain insight into how economic theory is applied in practice within governmental and international institutions. 

The Governmental Economics Tour will take place from March 11th to March 13th and includes visits to The Hague, Amsterdam, and Brussels.
