Welcome to the 2026 Spring European University Conference
This will be the 7th time we gather at De Hoof since 2017, and we are full of anticipation for what the Lord will speak during this special weekend together.
May the Lord have mercy on each one of us to hear what the Spirit is speaking to our generation (Revelation 2:7, 11, 17, 29; 3:6, 13, 22; 22:17).
You’ll find more information about the conference throughout this site and in the registration form. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at events@unistudents.eu.
