The Young European Federalists (JEF Europe) are proud to open the call for JEF national sections to host the Spring 2026 Federal Committee Meeting!

We are looking for a motivated JEF section interested in hosting our Federal Committee meeting (from Friday evening till Sunday lunchtime) in early 2026. Apply to host by March 17th 23.59 pm CET (i.e. midnight).

The following characteristics are of fundamental importance:

• • The hosting city should be relatively well connected to most parts of Europe;
  • A dedicated team of minimum 4-5 JEF activists on spot who will assist the European Secretariat with logistical matters (e.g. venue, accommodation, public transportation, materials…);
  • Motivation and commitment to explore and apply for local, regional, and national co-funding sources;
  • Any proposals for travel options, catering, venues etc are in line with JEF Europe’s internal resolution ‘For a more Sustainable JEF’ (which can be found in our Member Area) to ensure the organisation’s commitment towards environment sustainability.

If your section is interested in hosting the FC, you can send your proposal to our Secretary General at sg@jef.eu. The final proposal should contain:

• • The reasons why you wish to host the FC meeting;
  • The name and price (estimate, ideally a quotation) of at least three potential venues, accommodations and restaurants that could host between 80 and 100 people;
  • Social programme for Saturday evening;
  • A list of travel options (how to reach the host city from different corners of Europe), including public transportation on site;
  • Options for co-funding on the local/regional/national level;
  • A realistic provisional budget.
  • A brief risk assessment

Your section will have the opportunity to present your bid at the Federal Commitee in Sofia (March 2025).

Do not hesitate to get in touch with Brigita Krasniqi (sg@jef.eu) and Loubna Reguig (loubna.reguig@jef.eu) for any clarifications or questions.
