European Union Week 2025 is coming: an event to explore the EU’s role and future

Posted on | by Veronica Colombo

The European Union Week 2025 will take place from May 12 to 19, an initiative designed to promote dialogue, innovation and international cooperation within the framework of the European Union

 

Now in its fifth edition, the European Union Week has become a prominent event in the international academic landscape. With the goal of celebrating the European Union, the event will offer a series of in-person and online activities aimed at students, alumni, public and professionals interested in exploring the EU’s role, significance and evolution in a time of profound change.

 

Growth and collaboration for the Europe of the future

Launched in 2021 by TUM School of Management (Germany) and HEC Paris (France), the European Union Week has seen continuous expansion in terms of participating institutions. After the inclusion of Kozminski University (Poland) and other academic organizations, the initiative is now supported by a strong network of academic international partners. Among the participating institutions are Bucharest University of Economic Studies (Romania), Estonian Business School (Estonia), Vlerick Business School (Belgium) and, new this year, ESADE, Ramon Llull University, Barcelona (Spain) e Corvinus University of Budapest (Hungary). This intercultural network reflects the shared commitment to promoting European cooperation through discussions on current issues.

For this year’s edition, our business school renews its commitment to the organization of the European Union Week, actively contributing to fostering a shared reflection on the role and value of the European Union.

Many events to explore the opportunities and future of the European Union

European Union Week 2025 offers a diverse and engaging program, featuring seminars, events and themed talks by outstanding professionals and speakers who share a passion for innovation, sustainability and the future of the European Union.
