The 2004 enlargement was a defining moment for our Union. One that transformed the societies & economies of new member states. And made our Union stronger together. Today, we proudly hoist the flags of these countries. We unfurl our Union's flag, celebrating #20YearsTogether.

The JRC has been a pillar of support for #nuclear safety & security in the EU for 60+ years As interest in #NuclearEnergy surges, it was great to welcome @Ili_Ivanova, @rafaelmgrossi and @attila_steiner to today’s JRC side event to the Nuclear Energy Summit in Brussels

Celebrating 60 years of @EU_Commission's Joint Research Centre, @EU_ScienceHub. As we gather for #NES2024, it’s clear that with nuclear's role expanding, collaboration between @IAEAorg and JRC needs to grow even stronger—and I look forward to deepening our partnership.
