SIA Conference 2026
The SIA Conference 2026 puts the power of knowledge ecosystems centre stage. In these networks, researchers, educational institutions, businesses, governments and civil society organisations work together to tackle societal challenges.
Interaction in knowledge ecosystems
During the conference, we'll explore what makes knowledge ecosystems effective and how interaction between different players can drive innovation and societal impact. Special attention will be paid to the role that practice-oriented research by universities of applied sciences can play now and in the future.
With inspiring speakers, current real-world examples, interactive sessions and plenty of room for networking, the SIA conference is THE meeting place for the practice-oriented research community at universities of applied sciences.
