Special occasions must be celebrated appropriately and offer a platform for the Schuman community to gather. One example is the Schuman Welcome Drinks that take place each year in September to welcome newcomers and to kick off the new academic year.

These events offer a good opportunity to get to know other members of the Schuman community - academics and staff. Of course, partners and children are also very welcome. The same also applies to Christmas parties, Summer Drinks, and more. 

Members of the Schuman community of course support the Schuman team, the 'Schumaniacs'!

Each year at beginning of June, the most important annual football event – the Coppa Pavone tournament – kicks off. For two weeks, different teams compete for the much sought-after victory. During this time, the area around the EUI football pitch, located right in front of the Schuman Centre’s Villa Schifanoia, transforms into a fan mile, where the EUI community comes to cheer and support their favourite team. Even Bar Fiasco moves its location for this time period, providing everybody with refreshing drinks and delicious burgers.

The Coppa Airone is the one if the newcomers among the many glorious sport tournaments organised by EUI. Founded by the EUI Beach Volley group “The Herons” in 2018, it takes place every year in May at the Florentia Club.

If you’re up to enjoy sun, sand, and playing volley throughout the year, check out the webpage of the EUI’s beach volleyball team. 

Do you like to eat fresh and regional products? At the Schuman Centre, fresh fruit and vegetables come directly to you. There is the possibility to order a box with seasonal products, which gets delivered to your office once a week. This service is provided by a social cooperative located in the area.   

Cycling, singing, knitting or karate: people at the EUI have many different hobbies and are happy to share their passion with other EUI members. One can choose between a big variety of cultural and sporting activities.
