The Holy See Grants Patronage to the European University Festival

We are honoured to announce that the Dicastery for Culture and Education of the Holy See has expressed a positive opinion regarding the granting of its patronage to the European University Festival.

This represents an important institutional recognition for our European project, already supported by the Italian National Commission for UNESCO and held under the High Patronage of the European Parliament.

The European University Festival will officially launch its permanent platform on 21 May 2026 in Turin, while the international final event will take place in May 2027, bringing together universities, institutions, young people, scientific research, culture and innovation from across Europe.

We sincerely thank Cardinal José Tolentino de Mendonça and the Dicastery for Culture and Education for the attention and support dedicated to our initiative.

Our mission remains clear: to build a permanent European platform capable of connecting the academic world with the major challenges of the future.
