Art & Design Symposium
Intercultural exchange
UE has developed into a transnational campus in recent years. We see this as an opportunity to promote open dialogue between cultures, with a focus on fact-based exchange and mutual tolerance of opinions. The symposium will therefore present some selected international cooperation projects that already have a history, but where future plans are already being made. These are mainly cooperations with partner universities and non-governmental organisations.
