Circle U. Events 2022

Join us for the second Circle U. National conference, taking place in Berlin on 28 and 29 November. The focus will be on how European university alliances can contribute to the United Nations’ sustainable development goals.

The award ceremony for the Inter Circle U. Prize will take place at the "Conference on interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research for sustainable development" at UCLouvain.

This conference highlights some of the remarkable initiatives carried out in Circle U. universities. The "Circle U. sandpits" will be concluded and the "Inter Circle U. Prize for inter- and transdisciplinary research" will be awarded during the conference.

The Kitchen in Aarhus is the place to visit if you have an idea for a business, a concept, a NGO or simply for the greater good.

The academic chairs in the Circle U. work package Sustainable Student Innovation organise a two-day workshop in Oslo addressing the issue of female innovators and entrepreneurs in universities and what we can do to support them.
