Why attend the QS Higher Ed Summit: Europe 2026?

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 is in its longevity in innovative, industry-aligned and impactful education.

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

Join over 500 higher education leaders, industry experts and policymakers in strengthening Europe's advantage in the global higher education market.
