Decent work should not depend on your sector or where you live.

Our 2026 Employment and Social Outlook finds that job quality in the EU has improved over the past decade, with progress on pay, security and working time. It also finds that gaps remain across EU countries, sectors and occupations.

We will present a Quality Jobs Act later this year.

It feels far away. Until it isn’t.

In 2025, more than 44,800 organ transplants were carried out across Europe:
🔹 61% kidney
🔹 25% liver
🔹 7% heart
🔹 5% lung

With greater awareness and more people choosing to donate, more people could celebrate another birthday, make new plans, and spend more time with their loved ones.

A few simple steps can help:
🔸 Limit screen time
🔸 Turn off non-essential notifications
🔸 Take a break from screens before bed
🔸 Unfollow content that makes you feel anxious or pressured

Our mental health also starts on the screen. More: https://link.europa.eu/vJdpDN

And other critical raw materials for everyday life – like gallium, that powers your smartphones and medical devices.

And now, we have selected strategic projects to boost extraction, processing and recycling, so we can keep powering everyday life 👇

Our LGBTIQ+ Equality Strategy is about making equality a reality — tackling hate, supporting communities and protecting people’s rights.

A safer internet starts right at our work desks.

Our new Eurobarometer shows that three in four employees in the EU encounter cyber threats on the job. Meanwhile, less than half feel confident that they can spot an AI fake video.

This European Cybersecurity Month, let’s build a stronger and safer Europe online, like offline.

Did you know that there is no universal sign language?

In the EU, sign languages are as diverse as spoken ones – varying across countries, ages, and social groups.

Through our Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2021–2030, we’re committed to leading by example: making our events and content more accessible.

Everyone deserves to have a right to freedom of expression, receive and share information, and take part in society on an equal basis.

Europe is rich in flavours, and specific products must be preserved for their unique characteristics, linked to their geographical origin and traditional know-how.

The Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) schemes guarantee authentic quality to your plate while driving sustainable development in rural communities across EU countries.
