EUniverCities Network Meeting Innsbruck, 25.-27.03.2026

Moving forward: Universities and Cities Shaping Health and Social Cohesion through Sport

From 25 to 27 March 2026, Innsbruckwill host the next EUniverCities network meeting. The three-day event will focus on health and well-being as a central challenge and opportunity for European cities, and will, in addition to showcasing local strengths, stimulate discussions on how sport and physical activity can drive healthier, more resilient urban communities.

Contributing to the achievement of the SDGs is an integral part of the EUniverCities network's ambition. In particular, the conference addresses SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and highlights how city–university collaboration can leverage sport to promote prevention, inclusion, mental health, quality of life, and innovative active spaces, drawing on Innsbruck’s unique profile as an Olympic sports city and a university hub with internationally recognized sports science.

The meeting is aimed at the following target groups: academics and experts within the thematic clusters; political representatives with an interest in these topics; members of the municipal sports departments; and representatives of municipal enterprises. The event will be organized as a Green Event.
