About the summit

We are pleased to announce the launch of the 3rd Annual Innovative Learning Spaces Summit that will take place on 20-21 September 2018. Last year’s traditional venue setting in Prague will go through a total makeover and the venue will be moved to the sunny Barcelona. Two previous editions of the conference have proved that the interest in designing innovative and engaging spaces to support students’ learning capabilities on physical and virtual learning environments is getting more and more important. By fostering innovation, universities seek to enhance students’ higher education experience and make the most out of their new and existing infrastructure to provide the best possible learning environment.
