29 September – 2 October 2026

From Tuesday 29 September to Friday 2 October, ECR MEPs will meet in Prague, Czechia, for a series of Group and Working Sessions.

The meeting will bring together European Conservatives to discuss Europe’s security, competitiveness and economic future, while also exploring the cultural heritage and industrial strengths of the Czech Republic.

The programme will open with a special session on Prague as a cultural crossroads, bringing together Czech and European voices to reflect on the city’s historical and cultural significance.

Discussions will then turn to some of the key challenges facing Europe today, including the continent’s military build-up in response to Russian aggression, the need to strengthen European competitiveness and the future of Europe’s economy.
