The Future of European Education – Conference

On Tuesday 22 September 2026, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń will host a conference entitled ‘Quality Label – the Joint European Diploma. From concept to diploma: practice, challenges, academic future’. The event is organised by the Foundation for the Development of the Education System.

The priorities of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the EU have clearly demonstrated that the future of the European education area depends on cooperation between higher education institutions within networks, the removal of legal barriers and the improvement of the quality of education. Key tools for realising this vision are the Joint European Degree and the associated European Degree Label – initiatives of the European Commission that set out the direction for the internationalisation of higher education.

During the conference in Toruń, participants will examine the criteria, benefits and legal and organisational challenges associated with the creation of joint study programmes; therefore, those involved in the internationalisation and development of their universities’ academic programmes are particularly invited to attend.

The conference will take place on 22 September from 10.00 to 16.45 at the Institute of Psychology (39 Gagarina Street, Room 101). Registration is required.
