2021 EUA Annual Conference: an ambitious debate about the future of universities

Posted date: 07 May 2021

On 22-23 April, EUA held its Annual Conference “Universities 2030: From vision to reality”. Nearly 700 speakers and guests participated in an honest and in-depth debate about the paths universities must take to remain resilient and relevant. Informed by the EUA vision “Universities without walls”, the event gathered university leaders, policy makers and experts in the field to discuss this timely and relevant topic.

In EUA’s vision, Europe’s universities are open learning communities engaged in the creation of a sustainable global society, as well as autonomous and accountable entities striving for continuous improvement. Universities’ core missions – learning and teaching, research, innovation and culture – will play an instrumental role in universities’ efforts to realise this vision.

The 2021 EUA Annual Conference provided a forum for discussion on how to make this vision a reality. In the opening session, EUA President Michael Murphy, EUA Secretary General Amanda Crowfoot and IAU President Pam Fredman hosted Charles Michel, European Council President, setting the scene for the conference by discussing the path ahead based on the European Union’s ambitions for research and higher education.
