The 2024 Annual Conference will take place from 2 to 4 July at the University of Minho, in Braga, Portugal. This year’s theme, “Connecting universities, addressing challenges”, aims to enhance dialogue and foster collaboration within the Arqus community but also with other Alliances and European higher education stakeholders to tackle the significant challenges impacting education, research and innovation, and societal engagement. Through the exchange of collective expertise and the cultivation of stronger integration and a shared identity, we aim to strengthen our resilience, adaptability and capacity to provide innovative solutions in an ever-changing global landscape marked by major challenges.
On Wednesday 3 July, the final plenary session, “Connecting alliances, addressing challenges together”, will start at 14:45 GMT+1, featuring speakers Irene Martín from CIVIS Alliance, Daniela Craciun from the ESEU project/ECIU Alliance, Aleksandar Šušnjar from the FOCI project/YUFE Alliance, and Roberto Zanino from the UNITE! Alliance. The session will be moderated by the Arqus Coordinator, Dorothy Kelly.
