This hybrid event brought together colleagues from across the SGroup network for two days of discussions, collaboration, and knowledge exchange under the theme “Disruptions and Innovations in Global Higher Education.

Participants engaged in Think Tank sessions, workshops, and networking activities, exploring how higher education institutions can respond to a rapidly changing global landscape. Key discussions focused on doctoral education and international collaboration, universities’ social missions, academia–industry partnerships, regional perspectives from the Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Americas, and funding opportunities through Erasmus+, Horizon Europe, VLIR-UOS, Global Minds, and other international cooperation programmes.

A sincere thank you to all Think Tanks, speakers, and participants for their valuable contributions, and a special thanks to Kaunas University of Technology for their warm welcome and excellent hosting.
