About the Brussels Global Fellowship

The Brussels Global Fellowship funds scholarships so that access to the Brussels European Forum is defined by potential — not by circumstance. Every fellowship is a direct investment in the next generation of diplomats, policymakers, and civic leaders.

Munich European Forum

Established in Munich in 1994, MEF is a non-profit association dedicated to educating students and young professionals in diplomacy, negotiation, strategy, and global affairs. Its founding values — cooperation, tolerance, and inclusiveness — anchor an international community of members, alumni, and academic partners.

Brussels European Forum

BEF is MEF's award-winning annual program in Belgium. Over one intensive week, participants engage in simulations of the European Union, NATO, and the G-20, alongside briefings with policymakers and experts at institutions in Brussels — rigorous exercise combined with genuine institutional exposure.

We remove financial barriers so that the BEF participant community reflects the diversity of the world it aims to serve. Support the fund, apply for a fellowship, or connect with the program below.
