Strengthening Europe’s talent and innovation advantage

Europe has been a long-standing power in global higher education. The region doesn't compete on speed and scale, as other regions grow their global market share. Europe's strength will come from its commitment to advance industry-aligned, innovative and impact-driven education and research.

The QS Higher Ed Summit: Europe 2026, hosted by Széchenyi István Egyetem - University of Győr, Hungary, explored how Europe can navigate disruption and maintain strength by being smarter, tighter, more aligned, and more strategic than faster-growing regions.
