If you could design your ideal university, what would it look like?

What would you study? How would you like to learn? Who would you like to meet? And how would you feel about that experience? 
The “Reimagine University Life” competition invites you to explore these questions and share your vision of the university of the future. 
This is your chance to break the mold, express yourself creatively, and envision what university education should truly be like for your generation.

From academic courses to campus life, from student services to a sense of community, you get to envision a new, inclusive, and inspiring university environment.

Think about what you expect and need as a future university student, and propose an idea for an innovative, welcoming, and inspiring university. You can focus on one or more of these aspects:

· Academic innovation – What courses or teaching methods would make studying more engaging?

· Physical and digital spaces – What should a campus be like to make you feel welcome, motivated, and connected?

· Student services – What types of support should be available? (e.g., orientation, mental well-being, career)

· Teaching and relationships with faculty – What teaching methods and ways of interacting work best for you?

· Community and a sense of belonging – How can the university foster inclusion, diversity, and participation?

Choose the format you prefer to express your idea:

· A written document (maximum 3 pages, 30 lines per page)

· A short video (60 seconds max)

· A PowerPoint presentation (maximum 5 slides)

Projects will be evaluated based on their originality, creativity, content clarity, and presentation quality.

The winning participant or team will be invited to Rome for a fully funded experience at Luiss, which will include:

· Round-trip travel and accommodations

· Full access to the campus, meals, and university facilities

· Participation in academic workshops, guided tours, and cultural events

· The opportunity to present your project to Luiss faculty, students, and staff

· Application period: August 25, 2025 – January 29, 2026
