Piedmont at the Heart of Innovation and Sustainability.

Turin, Italy – Pierangelo Saba, Founder and Director of the European University Festival, met with Alberto Cirio, President of the Piedmont Region, to present the vision and development of the European University Festival and discuss the role of Piedmont within a growing European platform dedicated to global challenges.

The European University Festival brings together universities, institutions, research centres and industry with a clear objective: transforming academic knowledge, scientific research and innovation into projects capable of generating measurable real-world impact.

The 2026–2027 cycle is dedicated to Climate Change, addressing one of the defining global challenges of our time through science, innovation, culture, sustainable food systems and sport.

Piedmont and Turin represent a particularly meaningful environment for this initiative, combining a strong academic and scientific ecosystem with an established tradition in technological innovation, industry and research.

The European University Festival will culminate in its Final Phase from 29 June to 3 July 2027, bringing selected university projects into dialogue with institutions, international partners and industry leaders.

The meeting with President Cirio represents part of the Festival's ongoing institutional dialogue aimed at strengthening cooperation between universities, public institutions and the private sector and creating concrete opportunities for the development and implementation of university-led solutions.

From knowledge to action. From universities to real-world impact.

European University Festival The European Platform for Global Challenges For Climate. For People. For the Future.
