Brussels

Taught by the EU's Leading Experts

Expand your professional network in the heart of Brussels

CELIS Thought Leaders Programme

Brussels (20-21 February 2025)

Join us in Brussels for a comprehensive two-day course on the challenges of investment screening. Screening of foreign investments for security concerns is rapidly expanding in both scope and complexity, as is the need for legal professionals to be able to navigate the complexities of foreign investment. Located in the heart of Brussels, this course provides a deep dive into the EU framework and legal issues as well as essential insights into investment screening mechanisms in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, with an additional focus on investment screening in infrastructure.

In this course, participants will:

  • Engage with experienced professionals from various sectors to gain a comprehensive understanding of investment screening.
  • Benefit from unique networking opportunities with fellow professionals, foster valuable connections and strengthen their referral network.
  • Participate in interactive sessions analysing and discussing relevant case scenarios and important regulatory aspects from the European Union, Belgium and the Netherlands.
  • Learn more about investment screening in the fields of infrastructure and deep-dive into the EU legal issues.

The Brussels course is an integral part of the CELIS Institute's Thought Leaders Programme. Designed for attorneys-at-law, government officials, judges, and in-house lawyers, this course is your pathway to mastering the legal aspects of investment screening and positioning yourself at the forefront of your field.
