CEPS IDEAS LAB 2026 | 2-3 March 2026
The Europaeum is pleased to invite applications for a new collaboration with the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS).
Now in its second decade, the CEPS annual Ideas Lab continues to be one of the most influential public policy events in Brussels. It brings together policy-makers, researchers, business leaders, and civil society to debate the major challenges and opportunities facing Europeans via open, forward-looking, and interdisciplinary exchanges. Speakers include European Commissioners, Members of the European Parliament, ambassadors, prominent academics, and leaders of industry from across Europe and beyond.
The Europaeum intends to take a group of postgraduate scholars to the Lab where they will be able to engage with the more than 200 speakers and 800 participants.
All students currently enrolled on Master’s or PhD courses at a Europaeum member university are eligible to apply for this event. Successful candidates will be provided with accommodation and subsistence free of charge and will be reimbursed reasonable travel expenses within Europe.
Applications should include a completed Europaeum application form, a brief CV, a cover letter or statement of purpose (up to 500 words), and a reference letter you’re your supervisor or academic advisor, all sent to applications@europaeum.org.
Deadline for submission of applications and abstracts: 20 January 2026.
