Euroweek
The Conference
Euroweek is an international conference, where students and academics meet from the different partner universities in PRIME Networking. During one week approximately 100 students and 50 academics meet to pitch projects, prepare and carry out presentations, assess papers and have fun! Students have worked on their projects in multicultural teams (two students from three partners = six per project) for a couple of months before hand and Euroweek is the big event where they get to disseminate and show their results.
Throughout the years, Euroweek has been a story of success for PRIME Networking! In 2025 we celebrate our 30th edition and we cannot begin without remembering where we come from. Throughout the years of Euroweek, we have discussed several topics, from the very first Euroweek where we discussed Intercultural Communication and Commerce to the 10th in which we discussed the challenges of the European Union enlargement and not forgetting several Euroweek conferences that we dedicated to Innovation Management. In recent years the main topics have been around sustainability and responsibility issues, which of course is no surprise since it is at the top of everyone's agenda today.
Vilnius University of Applied Sciences – VIKO in Lithuania, will be the host for the 30th Euroweek (EW2025) from April 28 to May 2, 2025. The main theme of the event is "Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the 21st century: opportunities and threats" with the following subcategories: (1) AI in Education; (2) AI in Health; (3) AI in Engineering; (4) AI in Creative Industries, and; (5) AI in Cyber Security.
