IMT took part in the 2025 edition of the EAIE conference in Gothenburg, an unmissable event in the internationalization of higher education. The week was marked by rich discussions, new partnerships, and shared perspectives on today’s major global challenges.
A strong presence at two booths: IMT and EULiST
IMT was represented at two complementary spaces. The IMT booth, a showcase of its Technological Universities, welcomed many academic and industrial partners from all over the world. These meetings allowed for deeper cooperation on today’s major transformations: digital transition, industrial transition, and ecological transition.
The EULiST (European Universities Linking Society and Technology) booth was one of 35 representations from European university alliances—twice as many as last year at EAIE in Toulouse. This is an important development aimed at establishing these transnational and transdisciplinary clusters in the European higher education landscape.
The event provided representatives of these alliances with an opportunity to engage in in-depth exchanges during the exhibition and sessions, creating new synergies and paving the way for valuable knowledge-sharing.
Strengthening academic cooperation in Sweden
Participation in JU Partner Day & Campus Experience
Ahead of the EAIE conference, IMT also took part in the JU Partner Day & Campus Experience, organized by Jönköping University (JU), a day dedicated to EULiST partners. This event provided a deeper understanding of JU’s approach to education and research, which is deeply embedded in the regional economy and closely connected with local authorities and businesses. Partners also visited the Science Park, a key player in Jönköping’s innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.
Visit from the French Ambassador to Sweden
A highlight of the event was the visit from the French Ambassador to Sweden, Thierry Carlier, accompanied by Yan Pautrat and Sophie Maysonnave, who came to support academic cooperation between France and Sweden. The visit illustrated a shared ambition for European academic development built on dialogue, innovation, and exchange.
Continuing the collective momentum
IMT extends its thanks to all partners, visitors, and institutional representatives who contributed to the success of this 2025 edition of EAIE. Building on this momentum, IMT remains committed to working alongside its European partners to create campuses and projects that meet the challenges of tomorrow: sustainable, interconnected, and focused on serving society.
