Europe Day 2026

✨ Europe Day 2026 – Celebrating Unity, Values & Cooperation

On the 9th of May, we celebrate Europe Day ⭐ a moment to reflect on the vision that shaped today’s European Union.

📜 In 1950, the Schuman Declaration laid the foundation for a new era of peace, cooperation, and integration across Europe. What began as a bold idea has grown into a strong Union built on shared values and collective action.

🌍 In today’s rapidly changing world, Europe Day reminds us why this cooperation matters more than ever: to strengthen our security, boost prosperity, and protect our democratic values.

🎉 This year is particularly special:

We celebrate 40 years of shared milestones, including the accession of Portugal and Spain to the EU, as well as the first official Europe Day celebrations and the introduction of the EU flag and anthem.

🤝 Europe Day is also about connection, bringing institutions closer to citizens and showcasing how the EU works to create opportunities, foster innovation, and support collaboration across borders.

At the ENDOTARGET EU Project, we are proud to contribute to this European vision through collaborative research and innovation, working with partners across Europe to advance health, science, and societal impact.

💡 As each year, institutions in Brussels and across the EU are inviting you to visit their premises and explore some of the Union’s most famous spaces.  Don’t miss this chance to go behind the scenes and find out more about the work and policies that shape your life: https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-history/europe-day_en
