The Hemicycle of the European Parliament in Brussels is the iconic heart of European democracy, where debates, votes, and landmark decisions take place. This striking semicircular chamber brings together Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) from across all member states, fostering dialogue, compromise, and transnational collaboration. Its modern design, panoramic seating, and advanced multimedia systems create an environment that balances formality with openness, reflecting the European Union’s commitment to transparency and inclusivity.

Hosting the EuroClio Annual Conference 2026 in the Hemicycle offers participants a unique opportunity to step directly into the space where Europe’s future is discussed and decided. It is a place that embodies shared governance, civic engagement, and collective decision-making, providing an inspiring backdrop for educators and history professionals to exchange ideas, explore challenges, and strengthen international networks. The Hemicycle transforms the conference into more than an event — it becomes a truly immersive experience in European democratic culture.
