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 on these topics will encourage an in-depth reflection on how universities, including their leadership and communities, can effectively balance integrity and change to the benefit of their institutions and society at large.
