europaweiten

Europaweiten is a German adjective meaning pan-European or spanning across Europe. It is used to describe initiatives, programs, policies, or activities that involve multiple European countries rather than a single nation. The term emphasizes a geographic scope that includes several European states, not restricted to a single country.

In practice, europaweiten is common in policy, administration, and media language. It appears in contexts such as procurement, research and funding programs, collaboration efforts, and market or policy analyses that cover several European countries. Typical collocations include europaweite Ausschreibung, europaweites Förderprogramm, europaweite Zusammenarbeit, and europaweite Studien. The specific form europaweiten is the inflected form used before plural nouns or in dative plural phrases, for example europaweiten Ausschreibungen or in europaweiten Projekten.

Etymologically, the word combines Europa with weit (wide) and is related to other terms like europäisch (European in a cultural or contextual sense) and EU-weit (across the European Union). While europaweit conveys geographic breadth, it does not by itself define legal status or governance; some contexts may specify EU-wide or cross-border implications more precisely.

Examples illustrate its use: Die europaweiten Ausschreibungen richten sich an Unternehmen in allen EU-Mitgliedstaaten. Ein europaweites Forschungsprojekt vernetzt Partner aus mehreren europäischen Ländern.
