The State of the Union is an annual forum for high level reflection on the European Union organised by the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence, Italy, since 2011. The conference acts as a bridge between academia and policy making at the highest level in Europe bringing together heads of states, presidents and representatives of EU institutions, academic experts, business and opinion leaders, NGOs, think tanks, journalists and representatives of civil society to discuss and debate the key challenges and opportunities facing Europe and Europeans.

The State of the Union is not part of the regular research-oriented activities of the EUI, but rather aims to increase the media visibility and international resonance of its research centres and training courses. By putting its research excellence and scientific and organisational resources at the disposal of the European community as a tool to improve the life of European and international citizens, the EUI seeks to influence the international debate around the themes covered during the conference and have a positive and relevant impact on the development of governmental and transnational policies [1].

Since its inception the conference has addressed topics including climate, migration, surveillance and freedom, the role of Europe in a globalised world, the Eurozone crisis, gender, citizenship, solidarity, 21st-century democracy and Europe’s management of the COVID-19 pandemic. The overarching theme and content of each conference is designed by an annually changing Scientific Committee, composed of experts and academics from within the EUI community[2].

The event is renowned for high-level participation and discussion, stunning locations in Florence, networking opportunities, prominent media coverage and consistent timing; the conference falls annually around 9 May, the anniversary of the Schuman Declaration, making Florence the centre of Europe on Europe day.

High-level speakers over the years have included Michel Barnier, Emma Bonino, Giuseppe Conte, Josep Borrell Fontelles, Paolo Gentiloni, Kristalina Georgieva, Jean-Claude Juncker, Roula Khalaf, Christine Lagarde, Sergio Mattarella, Charles Michel, David Miliband, Jeffrey Sachs, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, George Soros and Frans Timmermans.

History

The State of the Union was established in 2011 and originally took place as the central event of the Festival d’Europa (Festival of Europe)[3], an annual festival in Florence established to enhance the European dimension of the city and increase local awareness of the European Union. The success of the first edition highlighted the potential of the conference’s focus, format and reach, and lead to the EUI’s decision to bring the event in-house. The new mission of the stand-alone event has since been to contribute to the analysis of the European Union’s current situation and debate EU policies and the functioning of EU institutions[4].

Format

The event typically takes place across three days. The first day is held at the Badia Fiesolana, the EUI’s hilltop premises in Fiesole, and its programme features an array of parallel sessions and fringe events. The second day is held at Palazzo Vecchio, Florence’s historic town hall, in the Salone di Cinquecento and hosts heads of states, prime ministers and diplomats, alongside prominent academics, civil society representatives, journalists and business, think tank and opinion leaders from Europe and beyond. This day features high-level discussions, addresses and interviews. The third day is an Open Day held at the Historical Archives of the European Union, housed at Villa Salviati at the EUI. It welcomes local residents to experience the architecture and gardens of Villa Salviati and learn about the European project and its cultural and historical heritage first-hand through participation in guided tours, exhibitions, tastings, cultural and leisure events[5]. The array of activities on offer at the Open Day has grown substantially to reflect rising participation over the years: 1,600 in 2015[6], 2,800 in 2016[7], 2,100 in 2017[8], 4,000 in 2018[9] and 4,900 in 2019[10].

Diversity and Inclusion

Since its first edition, The State of the Union has implemented specific strategies to progressively diversify both its audience and its speakers. Presenting a diverse range of opinions on the most pressing matters facing the EU is a central tenet of The State of the Union’s mission. In 2020, 43,5% of speakers[11] and 44,1% of the registered audience[12] were women whilst in 2019, the conference attracted participants from 62 different countries (including all 27 EU Member States)[13]. Each year the conference seeks to strike a greater balance in terms of age groups, ethnicities, genders and nationalities represented amongst speakers and audience members. It is also committed to increasing civil society representation at the conference.
