EUTOPIA Innovation Challenge 2026: Rethinking Cultural Heritage

How can cultural heritage be preserved, passed on, and reimagined at the same time? At the EUTOPIA Innovation Challenge 2026, students from across Europe will explore these and other questions related to the topic of “Cultural Heritage.” From November 9 to 12, 2026, up to 80 students from the ten EUTOPIA partner universities will gather at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice to develop innovative solutions to real-world challenges together with experts and industry partners.

The challenge is open to students from all departments at TUD. Interdisciplinary perspectives are expressly encouraged. In addition to gaining practical experience in an international setting, the event offers the opportunity to network, learn about different disciplinary perspectives, and collaborate on forward-thinking ideas. Participation is free of charge; travel, accommodation, and meal expenses will be reimbursed by TUD afterward.

Up to eight TUD students may participate. Applications are accepted until September 27, 2026. The application process and the challenge will be conducted in English.
