We are always delighted to welcome bright young minds to the EU Delegation to Australia. 💡 ✨

Ananya and Holly recently joined us for a two-day visit as part of the Girls Run The World programme, where they met with diplomats and gained a closer insight into the European Union’s work and its growing partnership with Australia.

During their visit, they met Deputy Head of Mission Dr Oliver Landwehr, Head of Trade Joanna Pocztowska, and our Political, Press and Information (PPI) and Trade teams.

They also took on a project on Women, Peace and Security, developing a conference concept that highlighted how the European Union and Australia are working together in this important area, before presenting their ideas at the end of the second day.

Thank you, Ananya and Holly, for bringing such enthusiasm, curiosity and creativity to the experience. It was wonderful to see your ideas and learning come to life!

Team Europe is lacing up and uniting. 🇪🇺👟

On Sunday 1 November we’re running the Canberra Times Run 5km with Run Against Violence, to take a stand against violence against women ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (IDEVAW) on 25 November.

Violence against women and girls is one of the most widespread human rights violations in the world, and in Australia 2 in 5 women have experienced violence since the age of 15.

Visit us at the EU booth in the race village!

Yesterday proved how important strong partnerships are to strengthening security and resilience.

With The Australian National University National Security College, we welcomed more than 175 European and Australian security and defence stakeholders to the Road to Schuman Security and Defence Forum 2026 at the Australian Parliament House.

At a pivotal moment in EU-Australia relations, following the signing of the EU-Australia Security and Defence Partnership, the forum explored how closer cooperation can strengthen collective security and resilience.

🇫🇮 Finland’s Minister of Defence, His Excellency Antti Häkkänen, delivered the keynote address, sharing insights from Finland’s experience in comprehensive security and preparedness, and highlighting the importance of cooperation between like-minded partners.

A panel of Australian and European defence and security experts discussed technological advancements, collective security, and maritime cooperation.

The event was a lead-up to the third Schuman Security and Defence Forum, taking place in Brussels on 17–18 November and convened by EU High Representative/Vice-President Kaja Kallas.

Thank you to Minister Häkkänen, our panellists, and all participants for an important exchange.
