Editor's note
Dear Friend of the College,
Chère amie, Cher ami du Collège,
 
Welcome to the new edition of the Natolin Quarterly! The last quarter of 2016 is an exciting and busy time for us at Natolin.

First and foremost, the application period for 2017–18 kicks off on 1 November 2016, with the online application portal open until 18 January 2017 – so make sure to apply on time and, please, pass on news of this great opportunity to bright and ambitious potential future students!

Also in this edition: don’t forget to check out our newly revised and updated European Interdisciplinary Studies programme - still offering a 360 degree look at European affairs, and now offering much more choice to students to put together their own tailor made programme. As always, there are lots of exciting events to read about or put in your diary - to name just a few: our exclusive student study trip to Ukraine, our opening ceremony with the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine, a visit from former European Council President Herman Van Rompuy and an important series of seminars on the European Neighbourhood Policy, our Natolin Neighbourhood Days.

So please, take a look at the newsletter and read more by following the links. The Natolin Quarterly will be back in January 2017!
 
All best wishes,
