Research Week 2026 in Magdeburg

Research Week #4

During the first week of June, OVGU Magdeburg will host the Research Week, an annual interdisciplinary gathering of researchers from all nine universities that form the European University Alliance for Sustainability – EU GREEN. All participants to EU GREEN Research activities, namely : the Joint Research Commission, the 6 thematic clusters (see more about them here), the European taskforce, the Librarians' network are cordially invited and strongly encouraged to attend to further develop the collaboration already initiated. Any other interested researchers and staff wishing to join the EU GREEN Research bodies are also warmly invited to join.

The Research Week is the yearly event dedicated to researchers from the alliance. This year, it will focus on offering opportunities for networking, with dedicated time slots for thematic meetings, workshops, and plenary sessions to strengthen connections across our universities. This year, for the first time, the event will also include an EU GREEN brokerage event, a type of matchmaking event focusing on building project consortia and applications for Horizon Europe calls applications.
