Shaping the Future of University Estates & Facilities

Registration is now open!

The European Universities Estates Congress is a new conference and networking event dedicated to real estate and facilities management in higher education. Bringing together professionals from across Europe, the UK and beyond, the Congress provides a unique platform to exchange knowledge, share best practices and explore innovative solutions to the challenges facing university leaders today.

The Congress takes place alongside Education Estates®, the UK's leading event for education infrastructure. This gives you access to a wider community of estates and facilities professionals from across the education sector, not just higher education. You can move between sessions at both events, explore a combined exhibition floor and build connections with peers working on similar challenges in schools, colleges and universities alike. For international delegates in particular, it means one trip to the UK delivers two events worth of content, contacts and ideas.

As institutions respond to increasing demands around sustainability, refurbishment & retrofit, good estate management, and technology and AI, the Congress offers a dynamic platform to exchange ideas, share best practices and foster cross-border collaboration, ensuring estate strategies are aligned with the future of higher education.
