We are delighted to invite you to the 27th Annual ENAS Forum & Assembly 2025, that will be held in the beautiful city of Vilnius, Lithuania, from 9 to 14 November 2025.

Presenting the timely and impactful theme of "Lifelong Wellbeing: How University (Sports) Can Shape a Healthy Future”, this year the event is proudly hosted by Vilnius University, Mykolas Romeris University and Vilnius Gediminas Technical University.

Once more, the vibrant event will bring together university sport leaders, academics, and wellbeing advocates from across Europe to exchange insights on fostering healthier lifestyles through academic and sports communities. In 2025, the programme combines thought-provoking keynotes, interactive sessions, and cultural experiences, aiming to strengthen the role of universities in promoting physical and mental wellbeing.

Join us for a week of knowledge-sharing, connection-building and inspiration.

Structure of the event

• Pre-Forum: 9–11 November 2025 in Vilnius and Kaunas

  The Pre-Forum activities will take place in both Vilnius and Kaunas, from November 11 to 13, 2025. Its programme offers participants an immersive introduction to Lithuania’s culture and academic environment. Highlights include guided tours, visits to sports facilities such as Vytautas Magnus University and Zalgiris Arena, lecture and discussions on student-athlete mental health, and active wellbeing sessions like yoga and self-defense. Participants will also explore Vilnius’ historic city center, engage in healthy cooking activities, and take part in networking dinners—setting the stage for meaningful connections before the main forum.

  Please note:

  - the transport to/from Kaunas will be provided to Pre-Forum Participants

  - a Pre-Forum ticket grants you access to both the Pre-Forum and the Forum

• Forum: 11-14 November 2025 in Vilnius
  The Forum programme will feature expert speakers from leading institutions, covering topics like the neurophysiology of motivation, student’s challenges (as a burnout case study), and strategies for enhancing wellbeing in university communities. Interactive formats, including panel and group discussions, and “speed dating” networking, will ensure active engagement. Social events such as the AsbjØrn Cup, gala dinner, and cultural excursions will further enrich the experience, creating a dynamic blend of professional development, collaboration, and cultural exchange. This year’s gathering promises to inspire actionable steps toward building healthier, more active university environments across Europe.

  Please note that a Forum ticket only gives you access to the Forum.
