The European Citizens’ Panels are a key feature of the Conference on the Future of Europe. Four Panels allow citizens to think about the future they want for the European Union.

• Four Panels of 200 European citizens each chosen through random selection, from the 27 Member States;
  
• Reflecting the EU’s diversity: geographic origin (nationality and urban/rural), gender, age, socioeconomic background and level of education;
  
• At least one female and one male citizen per Member State is part of each Panel;
  
• A third of each Panel is composed of young people (age 16 – 25);
  
• Twenty Representatives from each European Citizens' Panel take part in the Plenary, presenting the outcome of their discussions in the form of recommendations and debating them with other participants.
