From 8 to 9 May 2021, the fifth edition of the Veumeu Venice Universities' Model European Union, a simulation of the European Union legislative procedure that takes place at the VIU in Venice on the Island of San Servolo, will be held. The initiative has been organized thanks to the collaboration between:

- Venice International University,
- Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia,
- Venice Diplomatic Society,
- Europe Direct del Comune di Venezia,
- Bringing Europeans Together Association  (BETA Italia),
- Eiuc-European Inter-University Centre for Human Rights,
- San Servolo Servizi

As a simulation of the European Union’s legislative procedure, the participants are members of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union, following the steps of the ordinary legislative procedure by which European directives and regulations are adopted. A group of students also form the body of journalists, which is in charge of reporting on the developments of the weekend of activity. The Veumeu is an excellent opportunity for students to approach the world of multilateral diplomacy and to hone their negotiating and leadership skills. Students will learn about the functioning of the European legislative process, the rules of procedure, the introduction of amendments and how to draft EU directives and regulations.

For the 2021 edition, the Legal Acts that will be adopted for the simulation are:

• The right to disconnection: this is a legislative initiative report that requires a new measure that will innovate and deal with new technologies, as well as an update and amendment of the previous directive. In the context of digital transformation in the world of work, the European Parliament’s Committee on Employment and Social Affairs has adopted a legislative initiative report calling on the Commission to propose an EU directive laying down minimum requirements for the right to disconnection. ( read here ).
