Every two years the Bavarian Representation in the EU organises this small version of the famous Oktoberfest. To give it real authenticity, there is “Wies’nbier” – the beer brewed especially for the festivities, Bavarian specialities and the obligatory brass band.

EU40 will participate for chat and a beer, some “intercultural dialogue”, “Cheers”, “Prost” and “Santé”!

EU40 is a network of Members of the European Parliament addressing those under forty years.

EU40 seeks to gather those who are young, share one generation and are ambitious about politics. We address those who are already playing a leading role in politics and who are most likely to do so in the future. We believe in an approach towards European politics that is not merely based on party politics or national issues but generation-based and future-oriented.

We believe we do not only have the great opportunity to shape the future of Europe but furthermore that we have the responsibility to do this in a sustainable way giving future generations the possibilities and tools to determine their own future:

It is not purely our generation we are doing politics for but it is our generation doing politics today and tomorrow. We want Europe to be at its best. Therefore we seek to connect the best. EU40 brings together those who will change the face of Europe.

We therefore hope to see you there.

The venue is 5 minutes on foot from the Parliament. Fine tunes, an open bar and a dinner await you.

The adress: Brewers of Europe on Rue Caroly 23
