The student competition is an online event that addresses current societal challenges. In 2024, the competition focused on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on society.
The student conference is a three-day event at one of the nine partner universities where you can improve your debating skills while getting to know other perspectives and cultures. The application period for the conference in spring 2025 at the University of National and World Economy in Sofia runs until 5 February 2025.
Study Tours
The study tour includes a three- to five-day stay at one of the nine ENGAGE.EU partner universities. The trips are organised together with students from the host university and include an academic component (at least a one-hour session) and optionally a professional component.
The study tour aims to create new mobility opportunities in addition to traditional semester exchanges and Summer/
Winter Schools. The format is particularly aimed at those students who, for financial or personal reasons, do not have the opportunity to participate in other stays abroad. You can read a review of the 2024 study tour to the University Ramon Llull in Barcelona here.
