Successfully Conduct Conferences (315)

2 October 2026

Moritz Colmant

Would you like to conduct international academic conferences with confident ease? Take your conference organization skills to the next level!

This training is especially suitable for those who never thought that organizing international conferences would become such a time-intensive part of their professional life in higher education.

Successfully conducting international conferences requires a specific set of methodological skills, often understimated. The effort involved – especially when participants and stakeholders come from different countries and institutions –is often greater than anticipated.

In this training, you will learn how to effectively coordinate everyone involved on the day of the event, manage international collaboration, and consider all relevant aspects so that you can enjoy the rewards of your months of preparation with ease. You'll discover how to write a detailed event plan and process insights-both for your current event and for future ones. This way, you'll confidently guide all participants through the day, contribute to the goals of your European University Alliance, and improve with each event.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the workshop 
• you will have developed strong coordination and communication skills for international and intercultural event management.
• you will be able to create clear, detailed event plans and communicate them effectively.
• You will be able to identify and prioritize the essential aspects of academic conference organization.
• You will have expanded your network of colleagues and event planners within and beyond your institution.
