Luxembourg: Your Priorities

Join us on 20 November 2025 at 12:45 pm to discuss it with us.

A few weeks ago, we invited you to complete a questionnaire about your priorities regarding your working conditions at the European Commission in Luxembourg over the coming years.

You can still respond if you wish:

We now want to take this a step further and discuss the results with you.

At U4U, we believe in the value of collective deliberation and debate, and of enriching our ideas through dialogue.

With the local staff committee elections now underway and new priorities to be set in the coming months, now is the time to exchange ideas.

Let’s meet on Thursday, 20 November for what promises to be a rich and exciting discussion.

Invitation: Israeli and Palestinian women in Brussels to raise the voice of peace (17-19 Nov. 2025)
A ceasefire has been agreed upon, but the challenges do not stop there! For this fragile truce to turn into lasting peace, civil society – and particularly women – must be its driving force.
From November 17 to 19, 2025, at the invitation of the Belgian Support Group, Brussels will host Palestinian representatives from Women of the Sun and Israeli representatives from Women Wage Peace. These two movements, which bring together more than 55,000 women, share a common message: “A just and lasting peace cannot be built without women at the negotiation table.”
