Who is Eurovia?
Brussels-based Eurovia—a non-profit accredited by the European Parliament—works at the junction of innovation, collaboration, and integration. Its team is a regular presence in the rooms where European policy is shaped: meetings at the European Parliament and the European Commission, stakeholder exchanges, and technical briefings. The aim is simple and concrete—help the Union become stronger, greener, safer, smarter and, yes, more prosperous. Eurovia’s network is unusually broad, reaching ministries, MEPs, public bodies, prime ministers, private companies, non-profits and European Commissioners; that reach is what turns ideas into workable programmes.
Founders of Eurovia
Oguzhan Ari set up Eurovia with a clear brief: connect policy with practice. Educated in Business Administration and European Affairs at KU Leuven, he combines project development and international cooperation with a long-standing interest in European history and integration. While at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, he launched an international student association that helped newcomers find their feet—academically, culturally, and socially. Today, in his work as a lobbyist at the European Parliament, Ari argues for policies that leave Europe more inclusive and more resilient.
He likes to put it this way: “The question is not who you are, but who your team is.” Eurovia’s team reflects that view—EU officers, policy advisers, lawyers, engineers—people selected for competence and character. It’s a genuinely pan-European mix, with Belgian, German, Italian, Romanian, Dutch and French experts working side by side.
Eurovia’s Dedication to Europe
Commitment shows up in actions. On Europe Day, Eurovia co-hosted a conference and reception at the Permanent Representation to the European Union with KU Leuven and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Ambassadors, senior European Parliament representatives, NATO officials, local leaders, media and cultural organisations filled the room. Erasmus+ students—Samy Addahri, Alexandru Niculescu, Beatriz Santos Mayo, Thomas Germenot—took the floor to share what cross-border study had changed for them. Keynotes and lively discussions followed. The evening felt very European: diverse voices, shared purpose.
Leading Innovation Through Game-Changing Projects
Eurovia’s project list spans education, technology, integration, defence, agriculture and mechanics. The GUHEM Space and Aviation Training Center remains a flagship—among Europe’s largest interactive aerospace hubs, with a Cessna 172 flight simulation academy and hands-on exhibits that excite the next wave of engineers and scientists. With inCursor Technology, Eurovia co-developed TARBOT, an autonomous agricultural robot that uses AI to detect disease and treat only affected plants—cutting chemical use and water waste while aligning with the European Green Deal. Research translated into practice.
Erasmus+, policy insight and real-world learning
Project coordination is where Eurovia’s attention to detail shows. Under Erasmus+, the organisation manages the full cycle—design, logistics, internships, cultural programming. One recent collaboration with a National Agency brought learners to Belgium for hands-on work in renewable energy, with curated visits to Brussels, Bruges and Ghent. To connect education with institutions, Eurovia arranged an official tour of the European Parliament. Seeing how the Union operates—up close—matters.
Eurovia also works with the Ministry of Culture, bringing pressing issues to the table and funding projects that link national and international students. Another strand matches experienced professionals with high-school and university students to map out career pathways—small interventions with long-term impact.
From partner to coordinator
Eurovia began as a capable partner and now frequently serves as full partner or coordinator across major EU programmes: Horizon Europe – Research & Innovation, Erasmus+ – Education, Youth & Sport, Creative Europe – Culture & Media, LIFE Programme – Environment & Climate Action and AMIF – Asylum, Migration & Integration.
It doesn’t only run its own projects. With the handbook Guide to EU Funds 2025, available online and in local outlets, Eurovia explains the funding maze in plain language—helping municipalities, NGOs and businesses build competitive proposals. The guide draws on EU project experts, official evaluators and coordinators from Horizon Europe and Erasmus+.
A trusted leader for Europe’s future
Across Europe, Eurovia is known for reliable delivery and measurable results. Policy insight, practical management and a wide network—institutions, ministries, companies, NGOs and universities—come together in one place. Sometimes Eurovia joins a consortium as a specialist; sometimes it leads from the front as coordinator. In either case, projects land on time, on budget and with impact.
