Celebrating Europe Day 2025: 75 years since the Schuman Declaration
Every year on 9 May, the European Union celebrates Europe Day. This
year, the occasion holds special significance as it commemorates
the 75th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration
[https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-history/history-eu/1945-59/schuman-declaration-may-1950_en],
the 1950 proposal that laid the foundations for lasting unity and
cooperation between European nations and ultimately led to the
creation of the European Union.

Across the EU, institutions and Member States will mark this milestone
with open days, cultural events, citizen dialogues, and activities for
young people. These celebrations aim to foster engagement, bring
Europeans closer to the EU, and reflect on shared achievements and
values.

The core of Europe Day— unity, transparency, and

making public data freely accessible, the EU strengthens democratic
participation, supports evidence-based policymaking, and drives
innovation in fields such as health, climate action, mobility and
beyond. Open data helps ensure that citizens and businesses alike can
benefit from a transparent, inclusive, and digitally connected Union.
