Welcome to Luxembourg

Nestled between Belgium, France and Germany, the Grand Duchy spans 2.586 km² and is home to around 645 000 people. It combines centuries-old heritage with modern infrastructure. The capital, Luxembourg City, stands out for its dramatic setting on cliffs and in deep gorges, with its UNESCO-listed old quarters and fortifications reflecting the country’s long and complex history. Luxembourg’s multilingual society (Luxembourgish, French, and German) reflects its role as a European crossroads and hosts key institutions such as the European Court of Justice.

The European Convention Center Luxembourg

The the 54th DGPs Congress will be held at the European Convention Center Luxembourg (ECCL), the country’s premier convention centre. As Europe’s flagship venue, the ECCL hosts the Council of the European Union for three months each year, highlighting Luxembourg’s central role in European affairs.  For full details on facilities and access, please visit the official ECCL website.
