Find out how the European Union impacts your life with the "What Europe does for me?" application or browse through publications from the European Parliamentary Research Service. Meet other Europeans, hear their stories and have your say on Europe in the Citizens’ Voices corner, and take a photo in our photo booth to receive a souvenir of your visit. Contemplate Sabine Gross' Nesting Site, from the European Parliament contemporary art collection, while you sit and work or hold small informal meetings.
Discover topical exhibitions about some of the most important issues of our time in the temporary exhibition space on the mezzanine level. The European Parliament is committed to showcasing diverse perspectives and works with different partners to bring thought-provoking exhibitions to the heart of the European Quarter.
You can also attend a variety of events in the dedicated event space: from policy talks, to film screenings, press conferences, civil society and stakeholder meetings or events especially for young people. New events are constantly being added so be sure to check out the weekly programme below and find the one that interests you.
To mark the opening of the Info Hub, the first exhibition will be organised in collaboration with the renowned World Press Photo Foundation: ICONIC. This independent, non-profit organisation provides a variety of perspectives from all corners of the globe through the medium of photojournalism. Each year, the Foundation awards works that present courageous stories, invaluable insights, and a diversity of interpretations.
