Third ENLIGHT Impact Conference to be held in Bratislava 11-12 February 2027
The ENLIGHT European University Alliance is organising its Third Impact Conference bringing together academics, university leaders, management staff, students, societal stakeholders and impact experts to reflect on how collaboration can contribute to generating impact, both within ENLIGHT and across the broader European higher education and research landscape. The theme of the conference is "Collaboration for Impact: Transforming European Universities" and it will be hosted by Comenius University Bratislava on 11-12 February 2027.
The conference will explore how universities can move beyond isolated initiatives towards more connected, collaborative, and impact-oriented approaches. It will provide a space to exchange practices, critically reflect on challenges, and collectively shape approaches for embedding impact across the full university mission.
The ENLIGHT Impact Conference 2027 will be the fora to:
- Explore how connectivity and collaboration can strengthen impact across education, research, innovation and service to society.
- Share institutional approaches, practices and tools for fostering collaborative and impact-driven university ecosystems.
- Showcase inspiring examples of collaboration within and beyond universities and learn from concrete collaborative practices and experiences.
- Examine the role of European University Alliances and cross-sector partnerships in driving transformation and amplifying impact across Europe.
- Foster networking, matchmaking and collaboration opportunities among academics, practitioners, university leaders, students, and societal stakeholders.
