ABOUT THE TRAINER

CARLOS GIL

Carlos Gil has a degree in Law and a BA in Public Administrations. He has a solid background in European Affairs, a trajectory that he has consolidated through postgraduate studies at the University of A Coruña, the Diplomatic School of Spain and the College of Europe (Belgium). He has complemented this training oriented to the European Union with doctoral studies and other Jean Monnet’s postgraduate training.

He began his path towards the access to the European administration at the Diplomatic School, where he specialised in the European civil service. He deepened his training through multiple training courses in Belgium and the MA in European Political and Governance Studies. It was in this context that, after perceiving the difficulties to prepare EPSO's selective processes properly, he started to develop the innovative Yepso!’s methodology.

It is necessary to mention that Carlos has extensive professional experience linked to European Institutions. On the one hand, he has the vision of the Institutions through its trajectory in official information centres of the European Commission. On the other hand, as a consultant and advisor of European projects, he provided innovative ideas and solutions in a local and national key through the European Centre for Government Transformation.
