On 9 May 2023, a festive event was held at Vienna City Hall to mark Europe Day. The important connection between the City of Vienna and the European Union was emphasised several times in the speech of Mayor Michael Ludwig. “Europe is being lived out in Vienna and Vienna carries Europe in its heart,” said Martin Selmayr, Head of the EU Commission in Austria. Also, Martin Pospischill, Head of the Municipal Department for European Affairs, thanked the many long-standing successful EU-project cooperation partners – including the European Office of the Board of Education for Vienna.
