Our partner stages

The University:Future Festival (U:FF) in 2024 will take place in multiple cities: Berlin, Bochum, Heilbronn, Leipzig, and Nürnberg.

The University:Future Festival is a three-day hybrid event. The festival, in collaboration with partners, creates five locations where participants can come together and exchange ideas. At the same time, U:FF remains digital-first in 2024, with the majority of participants joining online, as that’s where you can experience the entire programme. The theme of U:FF in 2024 is “Tales of Tomorrow.” It is organized by the Hochschulforum Digitalisierung and the Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre. It is supported by the Stifterverband.

Please note: The programme of the partner stages in Bochum, Heilbronn, Leipzig and Nürnberg is in German. You’ll find English-language programme items in Berlin and digitally.
