The European University Association (EUA) has announces plans for its 2026 Annual Conference, scheduled to take place on 16–17 April 2026 at Yeditepe University in Istanbul, Türkey. This year’s conference will explore the theme “University cooperation in changing contexts,” examining how geopolitics, technology, sustainability and economic forces are reshaping collaboration across institutions, with government, industry and international partners.
The conference will feature panel discussions and interactive sessions designed to foster strategic dialogue and innovation in higher education. It will be combined with the EUA General Assembly, offering members the opportunity to participate in key governance and policy discussions.
Organisers are also inviting contributions for breakout session presentations that highlight practical approaches to cooperation, including cross-sector engagement and technology-driven partnerships. These sessions, together with the wider programme, aim to provide a valuable networking platform for rectors, senior leaders and policymakers from across Europe to collectively shape the future of higher education collaboration.
