Posters in the European Parliament in Brussels

10 November 2026
Spinelli Building
European Parliament, Brussels

60 undergraduate research projects from across Europe will be presented directly to politicians, policy professionals, researchers, and fellow students at the European Parliament. The event brings outstanding student research into dialogue with European policy, politics and society.

Posters in the European Parliament will be opened by 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.
