Universities are interconnected in many ways with the cities where they are located. Universities often shape urban development, social structures, economic competitiveness, and sustainability transitions. Meanwhile, cities provide the spatial, political, and societal context for the universities. It is also becoming increasingly common that universities and cities actively build models and programs for long-term strategic collaboration. UniverCities 2026 invites researchers, policymakers, university administrators, urban planners, and innovation practitioners to discuss the changing relationship between universities and cities and to examine how collaborative models can help solve problems that our cities are facing.
The language of the conference is English.
