The European Union Visitors Programme organises tailor-made study visits to meet Members of the European Parliament, officials from the EU Institutions, and other EU stakeholders. The visits comprise both individual and joint meetings and activities with fellow EUVP participants. Joint meetings and activities are organised on the basis of visitors’ thematic interests or by bringing together visitors from neighbouring countries or regions.

Participants will normally have completed university education or equivalent training and will have already gained some years of professional experience. Basic knowledge of the EU Institutions is required, as is sufficiently good command of English or French to allow active participation in meetings.

Belarusian rights defenders, environmentalists, trade unionists, civil society actors are invited to apply. Preference is given to candidates of 25 to 35 years of age.

Each study visit is individually tailored to meet the participant’s work profile and interests. A typical EUVP study tour lasts for five days in Brussels and may be extended to include Strasbourg.

The EUVP complies with the EU data protection rules.
