EUt+ at EAIE Glasgow 2026: Part of the European Conversation

From 8 to 11 September 2026, the European University of Technology took part in EAIE Glasgow 2026 – an international forum for higher education and cooperation.

EUt+ presented its joint work at its own space in the exhibition area. Booth F26, designed by ECOMO Group, became a vibrant meeting place for exchange and constructive debate. Representatives of universities and international higher education professionals from around the world discussed their activities, shared ideas and explored opportunities for future cooperation, with creativity, solidarity and innovation at the heart of the discussions. An important part of this year’s programme focused on the future role of European Universities alliances, their contribution to Europe’s competitiveness, and their ability to attract, develop and retain talent.

EUt+ together with the EELISA and ENHANCE alliances, took part in two discussions addressing issues of key importance for Europe – technological competitiveness and STEM talent.

The session “STEM talent in European university alliances: Policy and practice for attracting and strengthening talent in Europe” explored ways of attracting, developing and retaining STEM talent in Europe, as well as joint doctoral programmes, the European Degree and mobility, alongside the challenges related to recognition and funding.The second session – “Building Europe’s competitive edge: How university alliances of technology can become strategic assets” – focused on the role of technology university alliances in strengthening Europe’s competitiveness and technological sovereignty. The discussion explored the links between education, research, innovation and industry, and the opportunities to turn research results into concrete technological applications.

According to Prof. Lidiya Galabova, the presence of Technical University of Sofia at EAIE Glasgow 2026 expands the University’s international network of contacts, opens up new opportunities for partnerships and strengthens its international visibility. Technical University of Sofia is actively involved in EUt+ joint initiatives in areas including student and academic mobility, joint educational programmes, the European Degree, research cooperation and interaction with industry. Membership of the Alliance therefore enables Technical University of Sofia both to develop its own international activities and to contribute to building a common European academic space within EUt+.

EAIE is a European centre for expertise, professional networking and resources in the field of internationalisation and the development of international higher education. This year’s conference and exhibition took place in Glasgow under the theme “The Rhythm of Revolution” and brought together more than 7,000 participants from universities and organisations around the world.

“The Rhythm of Revolution” – finds a natural continuation in the work of the European Universities alliances. Their sustained and purposeful work is driving the development of new educational programmes and new structures, creating opportunities for high-quality European education – education grounded in knowledge, mobility, research and strong links with technological development.

EUt+ is part of this rhythm of change.   

Nine universities. One common direction – stronger European education, science and technology.
