2024 EUA Annual Conference

Universities in Europe: integrity in a time of change

11 - 12 April, 2024 - Swansea University, Wales, UK

What does integrity mean to a university? Our sector is strong, dynamic, and used to evolving in order to do things better. Universities have been doing this for centuries. Indeed, staying true to themselves, while adapting to changing circumstances, is the very foundation of their success. Solidly rooted in our sector's common values and ethical principles, this integrity has long enabled universities to seek original and non-conventional solutions to problems old and new. As societies, and universities, now respond to transformations driven by multiple forces, be they (geo)political, environmental, social, or economic, this integrity is more valuable than ever.

The 2024 EUA Annual Conference will be hosted by Swansea University, UK, from 10-12 April. Entitled ‘Universities in Europe: integrity in a time of change’, it will investigate and showcase universities’ capacity to deal with change and to shape societal transformation while staying true to their core character, values, and missions. This theme will be addressed from a variety of perspectives, by looking at teaching integrity, integrity in international collaboration, research ethics and integrity, and integrity in university leadership. Conference sessions will encourage an in-depth reflection on how universities can balance integrity and change to their own benefit and that of society.
