An annual event that brings the entire ECIU University community together, the ECIU University Forum is returning in 2026 –  set to take place on June 16-17th at the University of Aveiro (Portugal).

With ‘Futuremakers: Educating for Impact’ chosen as the main theme, the Forum will feature dozens of panels, workshops and community-building sessions, creating a powerful platform for new connections, collaboration and real impact.  

For students, staff members, researchers and external stakeholders, it’s an opportunity not just to join the conversation, but to lead it – with the call for presenting a session currently open.  

If you’re a part of the ECIU University community, have an idea for a presentation, training or a discussion that aligns with the theme, and would like to participate as one of the speakers, you can apply using this form. The call will be open until January 9th.  

Share your vision, start a conversation – and become one of the futuremakers.

You can learn more about the upcoming Forum and available session types here. If you have any questions on the application process, please contact events@eciu.eu.

This call is for session presenters only. The call for participants will be announced separately in January 2026.
