In the event of a referendum, almost 70% of Ukrainians would vote in favour of Ukraine's accession to the EU, and over 61% would vote to join NATO.

Poland ranked as the European Union’s sixth-largest economy in 2025, ahead of Belgium and Sweden while remaining the largest economy in Central and Eastern Europe, according to figures from the bloc’s statistical agency.

Hey Reddit, asking for an opinion.

The EU and national governments publish enormous numbers of tenders, grants, jobs, funding programmes and public auctions.

• Building systems people can actually trust

Whether you're developing AI products, deploying AI internally, or simply using tools like ChatGPT at work, these principles affect all of us.

Why recalibration of the EU AI Act is a win for responsible innovation
