Can you think of any others? Write to us and we will devote an in-depth study to them!
European Data Protection Day
January 28, 2019Data protection is a particularly topical issue and has been celebrated on January 28 since 2006. This symbolic date is chosen for the organization of major European and international conferences on the subject and for the publication of regulations, guidelines and awareness documents on privacy protection, intended for professionals and all (increasingly numerous and assiduous) users of new technologies.
European Industry Days.
Feb. 5-6, 2019Two days dedicated to debating the challenges of European industry, with high-level meetings, thematic sessions and talks with young entrepreneurs, meetings with experts and potential partners (all available via streaming), but above all a very wide range of events organized throughout Europe between January and March. A multi-disciplinary event full of insights for businesses, trade unions, institutions and civil society representatives.
European Start Up Week.
March 11-15, 2019This Week focuses on young businesses, with a threefold objective: to promote the best existing initiatives for start-ups, to provide advisory sessions on issues of particular relevance, and to create links between businesses and regional institutions interested in the topic.

European Heritage Days

The site is very interactive: activities to test your multilingualism and assess your language skills, games and trivia about languages, national contacts, and specific information for teachers.
European Space Week
December 3-6, 2018 (new date to be determined)In addition to the ideal fascination it has always carried, space has strategic importance and great impact on our daily lives: telecommunications, GPS, monitoring of essential data, development and testing of cutting-edge technologies. It is also a highly successful area for cooperation among European actors. This Week is the time when it is talked about, with very diverse and multidisciplinary sessions(here those from last year’s edition).
