EuregioBrusselsSchool 2026
The EuregioBrusselsSchool 2026 was organized by the Brussels office of Euregio Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino and took place in Brussels from June 22th to 26th.
The program included visits to EU institutions, including the European Parliament, the European Commission, the Council of the EU, and the European Committee of the Regions. A highlight this year, for the first time, was a visit to NATO headquarters in Brussels—in line with the main theme, “The Role of the EU in the World.” Other key topics in 2026 included the latest developments in digitalization (AI) and EU media communication.
Information on the 2027 edition will be available early next year for those interested.

Project description: EuregioBrusselsSchool
Since 2011, the representation of the European region Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino in Brussels has been organizing the Euregio Brussels School annually – a unique summer school that offers young people from all three regions a practical insight into the working processes of European institutions. During an intensive week of seminars in Brussels, participants have the opportunity to go behind the scenes of EU bodies, explore Brussels’ European Quarter through a tailor-made program, and engage in direct dialogue with politicians and high-ranking officials. At the same time, they earn internationally recognized ECTS credits, enriching their studies and strengthening their profiles in a lasting way.
The challenges of the pandemic years 2020–2022 led to a digitalization of the program, paving the way for new collaborations with the Universities of Innsbruck, Bolzano, and Trento. In this way, highly motivated master’s students – including Erasmus+ students – can optimally combine their theoretical knowledge with practical experiences. This close connection between theory and practice creates sustainable added value, promoting direct exchanges with EU experts, parliamentarians, and other stakeholders, and supporting preparation for future challenges in European politics. The Euregio Brussels School thus represents a fundamental platform for training future decision-makers in Europe. With its practical teaching approach and intercultural exchange, it strengthens the next generation of European leaders, preparing them optimally.
