From the Documentation Centre of the University of Almeria, we wish you a happy Europe Day!
Europe Day celebrates peace and unity on the continent every 9 May. The date marks the anniversary of the “Schuman Declaration”, a historic proposal put forward in 1950 by Robert Schuman, the French foreign minister, which laid the foundations for European cooperation. Schuman’s proposal is considered the beginning of what is now the European Union.
On 9 May 1950, Robert Schuman, then French Foreign Minister at the time, made the famous Schuman Declaration proposing the creation of a European Coal and Steel Community to pool coal and steel production. The ECSC was the first of a series of supranational institutions that would become what is now the European Union. The merger of economic interests helped to raise living standards and was the first step towards a more united Europe.
In 2025, Europe Day is a special occasion as we celebrate 75 years since the Schuman Declaration.
