Posters in the European Parliament 2026

10 November 2026 | Paul-Henri Spaak Building
European Parliament, Brussels

More than 60 bachelor’s students from across Europe will present their research directly to politicians, policy professionals, researchers, and fellow students at the European Parliament. The event brings excellent undergraduate research into conversation with European policy and society.

Posters in the European Parliament will be opened by a member of the office of Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament, on 10 November 2026. The live two-hour poster exhibition gives selected students from universities all over Europe the opportunity to present their research directly to Members of the European Parliament, policy professionals, and fellow students.

More than a poster exhibition, the event puts undergraduate research in the spotlight, builds networks across Europe, and takes learning beyond the classroom.

It is hosted by the University of Oldenburg (Germany) and chaired by Jens Gieseke, MEP, and is part of the Erasmus+ project Posters in Brussels.
