| What is the EUVP? The EUVP is a programme designed to enable active or future decision-makers and opinion-moulders outside the European Union (EU) to get an insight into the political system and more concretely into the functioning of European institutions. It enables them to learn the perspective of European decision-makers on a wide range of issues. The programme is jointly sponsored and administered by the European Parliament and the European Commission. An EUVP study visit is normally 5 working days of meetings with EU officials at EU institutions in Brussels. Applicants with a political profile are also invited to attend a 3-day plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg in which case the study visit will last 8 working days (5 in Brussels and 3 in Strasbourg). All programmes are coordinated and arranged by the EUVP Secretariat. All travel and per diem costs are covered by the EUVP.
