Annual Conference

Our Annual Conferences significantly contribute to the professional development of our members and are therefore vitally important for European professional higher education. A EURASHE conference attracts a diversity of delegates – heads of institutions, higher education practitioners, policy-makers, academics and students – from the education community across Europe and beyond its borders. It is recognised as a communication platform for education experts and professionals and characterised by its innovative and refreshing approach. Each year, our conference theme explores a new issue relevant to Applied Higher Education.

Applied research at Universities of Applied Sciences has emerged in the last two decades. In the field of education, applied research plays a vital role in solving practical problems and improving educational practices; moreover, it can contribute to resolving societal issues when researchers work closely with public and private sector organisations. The conference seeks answers to the many questions emerging from this topic.
Rising geopolitical challenges and global competition call for a greater focus on Europe’s economic competitiveness. Applied Universities are rooted in their territories, driving regional innovation through applied research, regionally relevant curricula, and smart specialisation strategies. Join us in Portalegre and be part of the discussion.
We are delighted to announce the EURASHE 33rd Annual Conference, which will take place on 22-23 May 2024 at St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences in St. Pölten, Austria. Every year, EURASHE gathers the Higher Education community to discuss and draft a shared path on relevant topics for the present and the future of education. Don't miss the chance to be a part of this event, save the date and join us!
Amid this background of rapid economic and technological change, the 32nd EURASHE Annual Conference is an opportunity for inspiration and co-creation of human capabilities for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
