We aim to provide young participants coming from the V4 countries, the Western Balkan, as well as the Eastern Partnership member states with a cross-border educational programme of high quality that enables them to know more about the most pivotal cooperation of Central Europe. During the twelve days of the event, participants can listen to and attend lectures and seminars in English, which puts under scrutiny the economic, political and cultural relations of the Cooperation, as well as the experiences connected to being an EU member state.

Based on the lectures, the students of the summer school will write an end-of-term test. If the test is passed, those who attended all the lectures and seminars will be given a certificate.

Beyond the transmission of knowledge, our aim is to enhance intercultural dialogue. For this reason, we organise various trips and programmes: Visegrád trip, Multicultural Evening, House of Terror Museum, V4 Game, Film Club, exhibitions, etc.

There is a separate webpage created for the purposes of spreading the news of the summer school more effectively among all the universities of the designated countries. On this webpage, participants have access to all information and have the possibility to directly ask the organisers.

The 2015 instalment of the Antall József Summer School will heavily focus on the relationship between the Visegrad Countries and the Western Balkan states. The year 2015 marks the 20^th anniversary of the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement, which put an end to the Balkan Wars.
