THE Europe Universities Summit 2026 Quark Hotel Milano, Milano

The THE Europe Universities Summit 2026 will be the meeting point for leaders, innovators and changemakers across academia, policy and industry to explore how European higher education can strengthen its role on the global stage.

As universities face rapid technological shifts, evolving government and stakeholder relations, and complex geopolitical challenges, collaboration has never been more vital.

The summit will create space for new ideas focused on interdisciplinarity, cross-sector partnerships and bold strategies that equip institutions for the future by exploring four core themes:

Reputation and global engagement
