Call for Registration: European University Alliance T4EU Innovation Agora
Registration is currently open for the Innovation Agora, which will take place during the Strategic Assembly meeting of the European University Alliance Transform4Europe (T4EU) on October 21–22 at Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) in Kaunas, Lithuania. The Strategic Assembly will also feature the T4EU Conference on Higher Education Transformations and the Global Partnerships Forum. The university community, as well as national and international partners, are encouraged to register for the Innovation Agora and present technological and non-technological innovations, initiatives, and to find partners for the further development of ideas.
The conference will focus on the same theme that underscores VMU’s presidency of the alliance this year: resilience, which has become critically important at both societal and individual levels. The conference will bring together leaders from academic institutions, experts, and students, as well as high-level European and Lithuanian politicians, global partners, business representatives, and other stakeholders. Resilience will be discussed in the contexts of digital and societal transformations, among others. Based on the insights from the conference, a strategic resilience policy document will be prepared.
Concurrently, the T4EU Innovation Agora will function as an open space for dialogue and collaboration, showcasing diverse resilience initiatives from across Europe. The organizers invite presentations in poster and interactive formats that highlight:
- Innovative educational practices and research findings;
- Innovations developed in collaboration with local and global partners (e.g., patents, prototypes, jointly developed technologies or solutions, etc.);
- Initiatives promoting resilience and solutions in well-being, governance, knowledge security, and digital transformations;
- Change-driven and impactful social initiatives from your institution.
Each T4EU partner is encouraged to nominate two strategic global partners or stakeholders to take part in this exchange. Participation in the T4EU Innovation Agora includes:
- A dedicated stand or booth space (table setup);
- Visibility during the main events attended by high-level guests, including government officials, EU representatives, academia, bisness & industistry, NGO;
- Poster exhibition or best-practice video showcase;
- On-request technical support (equipment availability to be discussed individually).
Up to 30 showcase spaces will be hosted within the main conference venue at VMU, ensuring high international visibility & matchmaking.
