Registration now open for the 2019 EUA Annual Conference that will take place on 11-12 April at the Sorbonne University, Paris.

Europe’s universities are integral parts of local, national and international innovation ecosystems, working with partners in the private and public sectors to educate future innovators and jointly develop solutions to societal and economic challenges. In this context, universities provide a unique environment, ensuring critical mass and the diversity needed to address these challenges. They also create institutional cultures geared towards innovation, whether it is in high-quality learning and teaching or ground-breaking research.

EUA’s 2019 Annual Conference will focus on how universities can develop strategies to shape innovation today and in the future. Through plenary and breakout sessions of various formats, including audience participation, the conference will provide insights into the policies and practices that empower universities to be places where innovation and entrepreneurship thrive.

The event will be of interest to institutional leaders (rectors, vice-rectors and heads of administration), higher education researchers and analysts, as well as representatives of other bodies involved in educational policy.

EUA aims to ensure participation of all members who wish to attend EUA events. However, each event has a limited capacity, and to guarantee a fair balance amongst countries and institutions, EUA may have to restrict attendance.

The early registration deadline is 28 February 2019.

The overall deadline for registration is 25 March 2019.
