February 11

Established by the European Union, European 112 Day highlights the importance of the single European emergency telephone number, 112. The campaign encourages citizens and visitors to memorize and use 112 for police, fire, or medical emergencies across EU member states. Public service announcements and educational programs help spread knowledge of the number's availability free of charge. Mobile and landline users are reminded that dialing 112 quickly connects them to local emergency services anywhere in the EU. By promoting common emergency protocols, the day fosters cooperation and safety across Europe.

Established by the United Nations in 2015 and first observed in 2016, this day advocates for full and equal access to science education and research opportunities. It highlights the achievements of women scientists and the importance of diversity for innovation and sustainable development. UN Women and partner organizations host conferences, workshops, and mentorship programs to inspire girls to pursue STEM careers. Campaigns raise awareness about the barriers women face in science, including stereotypes, lack of resources, and gender bias. By celebrating female role models and addressing systemic challenges, the day aims to create a more inclusive scientific community.
