Press visits to the European Parliament
We have a journalist visitors' programme which helps cover the cost of travel and accommodation for journalists visiting the Parliament when it meets in session in Brussels or Strasbourg.

Journalists are also invited to visit the European Parliament audio visual studios whose services include:

• live video recording of plenary sessions (both satellite & web transmission)
• committee meetings (web streamed live & VOD)
• broad news coverage of events available on the EbS satellite service
• audio recordings (& podcasts) of meetings/events and photo reportages.

We also invite student journalists over to both Brussels and Strasbourg on educational trips. 

Facilities for TV and radio journalists in the European Parliament  
There is a wide range of technical facilities for radio and television, including radio studios, multimedia studios and TV studio available in Brussels. An equal level of services is available in Strasbourg. Our office in Dublin also has a number of spaces for recording. 

Multimedia Centre

The European Parliament’s Multimedia Centre provides an extensive content platform tailored for broadcasters and multimedia journalists. From real-time live streaming of plenary sessions and meetings to recordings of debates, and stock shots the MMC offers all the resources needed to follow, illustrate, and enhance your coverage — all free of charge. 

Press seminars on current topics
The press service of the European Parliament provides seminars in Strasbourg and Brussels for full-time journalists.

The seminars are usually linked to a specific topical legislative procedure and theme. Recent examples in 2026 include trips to the EU institutions in Brussels and the European Parliament in Strasbourg for the presentation of the Irish presidency of the Council of the EU. All seminars cover certain fundamentals of the EU Parliament and the legislative process. The focus is on detailed information on the content of each legislative procedure and includes participation of the MEPs who are rapporteurs or members of the Committees responsible for the legislation.

If you are interested in visiting the plenary session, participating in a seminar or would like more information about upcoming seminars, please contact our Press Officers Jack Moloney (jack.moloney@ep.europa.eu) and Ellen O'Rourke (ellen.orourke@europarl.europa.eu).
