1. Introduction

This is the final report drafted by the Milan EPIO after the conclusion of the EXPO 2015.

The EXPO universal exposition on the theme of "Feeding the Planet. Energy for life", was atrue success.

The overall judgement is positive not only according to the figures collected – 21 millionvisitors went to see EXPO during the six months – but also due to the fact that EXPO put thecentrality of sustainability at the top of the political agendas and increased the awareness ofcitizens over European and international policies and strategies over the main themesdeveloped – as shown by the Chart of Milan, the legacy of the EXPO brought to the UNSecretary General on the 16 of October. On these themes, the European Parliament adopted aresolution on the 30 of April 20151.

"Every visitors to the EXPO - as EP President Martin Schulz stated in his appreciationspeech2- left the exposition with many thoughts provoking ideas coming from differentpavilions but visitors also left the exposition with a key question: ‘What can I do to make mylife on this planet more sustainable and fair?’. Increased awareness of how our choices andhabits affect the world and awareness of the interconnections in the global economy is byitself the greatest legacy of EXPO Milan”.

The European Union, with its participation to the EXPO Milan 2015, contributed to this greatsuccess. The EU Pavilion had more than 650,000 visitors with a level of satisfaction close to90%.

The EU Pavilion was meant to give visitors a greater understanding of the achievements ofthe EU in the past 60 years and the major challenges the EU will face in the future decades onthe themes of EXPO Milan 2015. The pavilion presented a story based on the characters ofAlex, a young farmer, and Sylvia, a young researcher to help people to understand theimportance of cooperation among tradition and innovation, cultures and experiences,including agriculture, passion for the environment and science.

During the 6 months, in addition to the Visitors’ Experience, the whole activities coordinatedby the EU task force for EXPO and Milan EPIO at EU Pavilion encompassed theorganization of events, conferences and debates with the participation of MEPs, EuropeanCommissioners and representatives from various institutions.

The EXPO 2015 EU Scientific Steering Committee3 played a pivotal role in promoting thescientific debate on the EXPO themes, following wide public consultation and high-leveldebate yielding the document "The role of research in global food and nutrition security",which proposes recommendations for future policy actions in this area.

2. The European Union Pavilion

During the whole period of the EXPO, data regarding the overall judgement of the EUPavilion has been collected. Concerning the Visitors’ Experience and the activities organisedinside the Pavilion, there had been a constant increase in the amount of visitors per day and asuccessful series of events. The tables below highlight the public flow registered at thePavilion Visitors’ Experience.

During the 176 days of activity at the EU Pavilion (since 9 May until 31 October withoutinterruptions), 657,150 people went to the Visitors' Experience on the ground floor of thePavilion. This equates to 3,733 a day on average. In line with the general trends of the EXPO,the number of visitors increased during the second half of the event (they were 230,000 atmid-EXPO end July). The main target-groups were schools and young people that visited thePavilion in great numbers. The month with the highest number of visitors was October(157,919 visitors: 5,094/day), followed by September (134,725 visitors) and August (112,795visitors).

5 | P a g e

The appreciation rate of the Pavilion was very high: around 90% of the visitors participatingto the survey - based on over 190,000 responses given at the end of the visit - gave a positiveappreciation.

Alex & Sylvia

The Visitors' Experience was divided into three parts: pre-show, show and post-show. Theshow consisted in a movie which tells the story of two young Europeans, Sylvia and Alex.Sylvia works as a researcher at the EU Joint Research Centre. Every year, she visits hergrandmother in a village not far from the city where she lives. Sylvia's Granny runs thevillage bakery, the heart and soul of the community.

Alex spends his days in the fields. A farmer like his forefathers, heuses cutting edge technology to grow high-quality wheat.When Sylvia reaches Granny's house there is a surprise in store forher. Granny has decided to take a break, so Sylvia replaces her. This

challenge comes as a shock to Sylvia whenshe meets Alex. As Sylvia enters thebakery she is gripped by fear but alsobuoyed by courage and starts preparing theproducts. Within a matter of hours the shopshelves are full of loaves and cakes.

The customers, used to Granny's expert baking, come into the shopexpecting the usual wares but find themselves tasting bread that isanything but traditional. Sylvia is distraught but refuses Alex'shelp. Suddenly, the village is hit by a powerful storm. Being anexpert in hydraulics, she raises the alarm right across the village.

As the flooding worsens, there is a danger that the village's bridge will collapse and, with it,the only road to the city. Her cooperation with Alex begins and they work non-stop to keepthe village out of danger. When the worst has passed, the scientist and the farmer go back toprepare the bread. Alex brings his best flour to the bakery and Sylvia follows all hisinstructions with scientific precision.

Bread is the common thread running through the story of Alex and Sylvia. The EuropeanUnion Pavilion has chosen it to illustrate the theme of EXPO because bread has historicallybeen the symbol of a food made for sharing. The story told is a metaphor for the motto of theEuropean Union, "Unity in diversity", which testifies to how Europeans, through the EU,have succeeded in working together for peace and prosperity, while retaining the richness ofthe continent's many and varied cultures, traditions and languages.

In the post-show, visitors were introduced to the EU policies dealt with by the narrative of thepavilion and the movie through three interactive walls on food chain, nutrition, environmentalsustainability and cooperation and development.

The Volunteers Programme

The EU pavilion developed a training programme which involved 850 young volunteersmostly from Erasmus+ programmes across Europe with a view to developing future EU'Ambassadors'. They worked as volunteers at the EU pavilion during a two weeks periodexplaining to the visitors the underlying messages in the Alex and Sylvia's story andassociated policies by conveying a genuine a dynamic image of the EU. Overall, 40nationalities were represented, half of them being Italians followed by Spanish, German andRumanian. On 11 October, together with the Erasmus Student Network, the EU pavilionorganised at EXPO an "Erasmus+ Parade" with the participation of over 1,000 Erasmusstudents coming from Italian and European cities.

Communication and media

The work towards media focused on the promotion of the Visitors' Experience and the movietitled The Golden Ear, the scientific debate, the Business to Business (B2B)4 events and theVolunteers programme. The Pavilion's activities hadmassive press coverage since the opening of thePavilion, when the Task Force presented theactivities for the six months. Press coverage was alsoextensive for the inauguration of the Pavilion on 9May with the presence of EP President, MartinSchulz and EC Vice President, Federica Mogherini.

Digital communication is one of the success storiesof the EU Pavilion, which is among the bestperformers in terms of followership. The Facebookpage (51,500 fans) and the Twitter account (over18,000) are the second most followed of the EXPO,while Instagram (5,000 followers) is fifth. The EUPavilion Website has been visited around 250,000times. The EU Pavilion played a pivotal role ingathering the EXPO social media managers.

At the end of the EXPO, a film produced by MCI was realized, offering a review of the EUPavilion's presence at the EXPO5.
