EUROSIM 2025

‘EUROSIM’ is a student simulation of the legislative process of the European Union. It was founded in 1988 at Brockport SUNY, USA and takes place on an annual basis since. Starting from 1992 this four-day simulation exercise is carried out in either a European or US-American location. Each edition of the simulation aims at educating students about currently relevant and pressing issues within EU policy-making. EUROSIM allows the participants to gain a unique experience of what it means to be a decision-maker. The simulation is organized and run by the Trans-Atlantic Consortium for European Union Studies & Simulations (TACEUSS).

The University of Antwerp and the STRATEGO Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence are pleased to host the 2025 edition of EuroSim from 2 to 5 January 2025 in Antwerp, Belgium.

The theme of the 2025 edition is the European Green Deal and more specifically the proposal for a regulation on microplastics.​

​Venue map - EUROSIM in Antwerp​

Antwerp is located in the centre of Belgium and is easily accessible by plane, train, car and bus. 

• The international airport of Brussels (BRU) is the most frequently used gateway to Antwerp, but you might also want to consider the low-cost airport of Brussels South Charleroi (CRL) or the nearby airport of Antwerp (ANR) itself. From Brussels Airport you can easily travel to Antwerp by train (37 minutes) or by Airport Express bus (45 minutes).
• Antwerp is also very easy to reach by train. International railway lines (Eurostar, Deutsche Bahn, NS internationaal) link Brussels and Antwerp to several other major European cities. 
  
• Lastly, Eurolines and Flixbus buses also frequent the city centre of Antwerp, which might be the cheapest option to get here.

The EUROSIM event will take place at UAntwerp's city campus, in the heart of the city centre.

• The main event location is the Meerminne building, located at Sint-Jacobstraat 2, 2000 Antwerp.​
• You can find a map of the city campus here.

uroSim is organized by the Trans-Atlantic Consortium for European Union Simulations and Studies (TACEUSS), which can trace its roots back to the first EuroSim event in 1988. The member colleges and universities of TACEUSS are represented by a dedicated group of faculty members who believe in the value of experimental learning and help their students prepare for the simulation.
