Unconditional Basic Income Europe
Our Mission
Unconditional Basic Income Europe (UBIE) is an international network connecting activists and initiatives from 25 countries.

As a result of our efforts, basic income is now entering the policy agenda in many European countries and on a European Union (EU) level. Together with you, we want to push this development even further.
