European Union Visitors Program (EUVP)
What is the European Union Visitors Program?
The objective of the European Union Visitors Program (EUVP) is to enable young leaders, potential leaders and multipliers from non-EU Member States to obtain first-hand impressions of the Union's policies, Institutions and achievements and to increase the mutual understanding between professionals from non-EU countries and their EU counterparts.
The EUVP is jointly sponsored and administered by the European Parliament and the European Commission and has been in operation since 1974. Combined, Australia and New Zealand have participated in the programme since 1983, sending over 130 visitors to Europe during that time.
A EUVP visit consists of an individual five-to-eight day program of meetings with officials at the EU institutions in Brussels, Strasbourg and/or Luxembourg. All programs are coordinated and arranged by the EUVP Secretariat and not by individual participants. Travel and per diem costs are covered by the EUVP.
