The RUN-EU Student Research Colloquium “Ideas for Tomorrow”, organised by the Häme University of Applied Sciences (HAMK), will take place in Hämeenlinna, Finland, on 10 November 2026.

The event will bring together students from across the alliance for an international gathering dedicated to research, knowledge exchange, and academic collaboration, giving students the opportunity to present their research, discover new perspectives, and connect with peers from different institutions, disciplines, and countries.

Designed to encourage student participation in research and strengthen international academic networks, the Colloquium provides a welcoming environment to share knowledge, discuss ideas, and exchange experiences. By bringing together students with diverse academic backgrounds, the event aims to foster dialogue, inspire new approaches and create opportunities for future collaboration across the alliance.

Students are invited to participate either as presenters or as audience members. Presenters will have the opportunity to share their findings with an international audience, receive constructive feedback, and develop valuable academic and presentation skills. Students attending as audience members can discover research being carried out across RUN-EU, engage in discussions, and gain insights into different fields of study.

Beyond research presentations, the Colloquium is an opportunity to strengthen connections within the RUN-EU student community. By encouraging interaction between students from different European higher education institutions, the event contributes to a more connected, collaborative and inclusive academic environment, where knowledge and ideas can move freely across borders.

The RUN-EU Student Research Colloquium reflects the alliance’s commitment to empowering students, promoting research engagement and creating meaningful international learning experiences. It also highlights the importance of student-led research in addressing shared challenges and contributing to innovation and knowledge development across Europe.

Whether presenting research or joining the discussions, students are encouraged to take part, exchange perspectives, and make the most of this opportunity to connect with the wider RUN-EU community.
