Invitation to the Irish Evening: The "Emerald Isle" in the heart of Europe On July 1, 2026, the Republic of Ireland will take over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. But to understand the country's priorities and political approach, you need to look deeper - into Ireland's history, identity and vibrant culture. We cordially invite you to a special "Irish Evening" where we will shed light on these facets.

Ireland's path in Europe: A historical review Ireland can look back on over 50 years of history in the EU. Since joining in 1973, the country has played an active role in shaping the Union. State culture and the "honest broker" What makes Irish politics tick? A core aspect of the Irish Presidency is the role of "honest broker"

The 2026 Presidency of the Trio Ireland follows the Cyprus Presidency in rotation. The task will be carried out as part of a trio presidency together with Lithuania and Greece. Based on a joint 18-month program, these three states will coordinate their priorities in order to guarantee political continuity and stability in Europe.

Culture, exchange and Irish Jeopardy An Irish evening thrives on togetherness. After an exciting presentation, you can test your knowledge in an interactive Irish Jeopardy quiz. The quiz combines interesting facts about the EU with entertainment and invites you to take part.
