2003

Alumnus Matthieu Liethaert (SPS 2003 – 2009) won the Best TV press documentary award 2013 in Belgium for his film “The Brussels Business”. The film, which grew out of his EUI thesis, deals with the interconnections between EU decision making and lobbying and thus dives into the grey zone underneath European democracy.
