U!REKA Connects 2026
U!REKA hosts an annual in-person networking event, held each year by a different partner institution.
The U!REKA Connects 2026 will take place in Lisbon from 23 to 25 June. This flagship moment brings the alliance together to reinforce existing collaborations, spark new joint initiatives, and exchange expertise through interactive workshops, presentations and other collaborative formats.
You can take part in the event by presenting a paper, poster or workshop — or simply by attending and engaging in the discussions.
Connects Themes
1. Collaborative and challenge-based methodologies for a sustainable and digital future
2. Co-creating climate-neutral and smart cities
3. Inclusive universities
4. U!REKA community voices: experiences, projects and new ideas
The call for proposals is open from 1 Jan to 15 Feb 2026
