nowy budynekThe Representation of Wielkopolska in Brussels has existed since 2003. It is a part of the Marshal Office of the Wielkopolska Region.  At present it employs four people supported by trainees and local government officials from Wielkopolska.

The office is located in the heart of the European district in Brussels in the proximity of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission.
