With this document, the University of the Future Network sets out its position in the framework of the exceptional situation that Higher Education institutions are experiencing throughout the world.

In every UFN event, space is reserved for meeting the host institution and for networking between researchers and other actors.

For 2019 the focus will be on university-enterprise relationships, addressed in this workshop.

The fourth annual meeting of the University of the Future Network will take place in Milan, Italy, at the University of Milano-Bicocca. The main topic that will be explored during the meeting will be the relationship between university/universities and the enterprise world.
