A milestone year deserves a memorable beginning.

As the College of Europe in Natolin marks its 35th anniversary, we were delighted to welcome António Costa, @eucopresident, for the Opening Ceremony of the Academic Year 2026-2027.

Here’s a look back at some moments from the day.

[College of Europe in Natolin @coenatolin]

“You will learn far more here than European integration or security studies. Natolin teaches you to think beyond disciplinary boundaries because Europe itself cannot be understood through a single discipline.”

António Costa, President of the European Council, @eucopresident officially opened the 2026/2027 academic year at the College of Europe in Natolin!

[António Costa @eucopresident]

The EU is a unique project of reconciliation, peace and prosperity.

Next year will mark 70 years of the Treaty of Rome. There is much to be proud of.

Today, we have a European Union of 27 member states, a strong community of democracies, undeniable social progress, and the most solid Single Market in the world.

But our story is not yet complete. It is an unfinished adventure. 

So let us continue building, with courage and conviction, a Europe that is strong, united, democratic, secure and free.

[António Costa @eucopresident]

In the wake of a reunited Europe, @coenatolin was created to prepare a new generation to think and act beyond borders.
The European story is far from complete.
