Who needs fossil energy? 🇪🇸 Spain just pulled off one of the fastest energy transformations in Europe. In 2000: ⚠️ 56% fossil ☀️🌬️ 2% solar + wind By 2026: ☀️🌬️ 44% solar + wind ⚠️ Just 17% fossil Gas now sets Spain’s electricity price only 15% of the time, compared to 89% in Italy.

Nordic Happiness Summit day 2. Election years national happiness declines! This is because conversations center around everything that is bad and how one idea is worse than another. Shouldn’t we instead celebrate our democracy? Democracy itself is a fundamental institution of happiness.

Nordic Happiness Summit is on! The Nordics still in the lead but for how long? Also the loneliest people in the world. Due to too much digitalisation. And a lack of agency. Due to too efficient welfare

Nordic Happiness Forum now discussing the issue that there is a negative effect between the time spent on social media and happiness (according to the World Happiness Report 2026). Social media seems to make us less social. Could verified human users be the answer to make social media social again?

Great exchange with Michael Schmid, President of Eurostat. Strong cooperation between Eurojust & Europol is one of the key elements in view of the upcoming revision of both mandates. Eurojust has a key role to play in enabling the judiciary to keep pace with modern organised crime.

Today’s fourth trilogue on the CSA Regulation brought good progress toward finding a long-term solution to the horrific crime of child sexual abuse. We urge the Council and the Parliament to move forward swiftly and welcome that the next trilogue will still take place in June.

In celebration of Europe Day May 9th
Where is Europe talking?
We mapped the social media activity of over 10,000 public voices across Europe to see which platforms they use as their primary communication channels. The findings highlights our dependency on non-europeans companies.
Real people.
Privacy first.
We believe in the need for a global, trusted social media platform owned, run, and hosted in Europe. W is built on verified human users, transparency, privacy, and free speech.
You identify yourself through W Identity, a separate app that scans your passport or national identity card and verifies you directly on your own device. You stay in control of what you share with other apps and services. Your ID data is stored only on your device unless you choose to share specific parts of it.
W gives you two options: appear with your full name or verified as a human anonymously. In both cases, you verify through W Identity, so W can confirm that you are a real, unique person. If you choose to stay anonymous, your full identity stays private, while verified attributes such as age verification and nationality help build trust and reduce fake accounts.
Access to your W Social account is controlled by a secure list of approved devices. If you lose one of these devices, it can be disconnected from your W Social account. Disconnecting a device will prevent it from accessing your account. You can then re-verify on a new device.
Part of something bigger.
W is built on the AT-Protocol, an open standard for global social networking.
