Tracks
At the registration, you can select the sessions and workshops that interest you the most.

You are free to mix and match sessions across all tracks according to your preferences.
All workshops and sessions are color‑coded according to the following track themes:
Track A: Beyond Digital: How AI is Rewriting University Work
Track B. Managing Risk in Uncertain Times
Track C. Strategic Collaboration Across Borders
Track D. Sustainability – Financial, Environmental and Social
Please note that the sessions marked with an “” will be offered twice.
