History

2025 • Nature = Futur

March 14 & 15, 2025

Mark your calendars for December 2, 2024, for the opening of registrations and the program reveal!

The 20th anniversary edition of the Université de la Terre will take place on March 14 & 15, 2025, centered around the theme "Nature = Future." For this special edition, the Earth University will be held in Paris at the UNESCO, Mediawan, and the Ministry of Health, in partnership with the Fondation Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and the Office Français de la Biodiversité (OFB).

A Milestone Edition in Unique Partnership with the Fondation Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

The "Little Prince" will watch over this 20th-anniversary edition of the Earth University, and we thank the Fondation Antoine de Saint-Exupéry pour la Jeunesse for allowing us to blend their world with our project.

Since 2009, the Foundation has been upholding the humanistic and universal values championed by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and supporting youth projects around the globe. The 2025 edition of the Earth University will embody a collective reflection on the future of our planet and its inhabitants, with the belief that every individual, every young person, should play an active role in building a more sustainable and just future.

New Edition, New Theme, New Pathways

Dive into the heart of the "Nature = Future" challenges with five unique tracks offered during the Earth University:

  1. The Universal Track
  2. The International Track
  3. Junior Earth University, dedicated to children aged 6-12 and their parents
  4. The Parlement des Entrepreneurs d'avenir
  5. The Biodiversity Track, in partnership with the Office Français de la Biodiversité (OFB)

Find the program for Université de la Terre 2025 on our website starting December 2, 2024, and join us on March 14 and 15, 2025.
