U!REKA Connects

The Urban Research and Education Knowledge Alliance (U!REKA) will organise its annual gathering from 30 May to 2 June in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Hosted by the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS/HvA), this event will focus on the shift needed for a sustainable future, both within the U!REKA network and beyond.

Are you new to U!REKA?

It’s a European network of seven universities of applied sciences operating in urban areas. U!REKA Connects brings together our higher education institutions (students, teachers, researchers and support staff) and select external partners. Attendance is free of charge and includes workshops, food and drinks, social events and more.

Event theme: Let’s SHIFT!

SHIFT stands for U!REKA’s strategy – working together for a Sustainable Human Inclusive Future-proof Transition. U!REKA Connects will bring this theme to life by sharing best practices, cutting edge knowledge and expert insights on education and research across our network. Join us to learn more about future proof ideas, sustainability imaginaries, the EU Year of Skills and much more.

Registration is open now - browse the programme below and be sure to secure your spot before the registration deadline of 1 May. Are you based outside the Netherlands and interested in attending U!REKA Connects? Please see this information about travel and accommodation.

We look forward to welcoming the U!REKA community to the AUAS and to Amsterdam this Spring!
