此次活動的核心亮點，為一場史無前例的多邊合作備忘錄（HLU–WURI Multilateral MOU 2026）集體簽署儀式。來自世界各地逾80所大學的代表齊聚一堂，攜手見證這份以創新教育與全球合作為核心精神的歷史性文件正式成立。
此份多邊合作備忘錄以推動「創新導向高等教育」為核心，明定各簽署大學將在聯合研究、雙聯學位課程、人工智慧與數位轉型教育、學術交流、以及高等教育政策創新等多元領域深化合作。備忘錄強調各校在平等互惠基礎上自願參與，並保留各自的機構自主性，充分體現當代國際學術合作的彈性精神。WURI 基金會辦公室將擔任本備忘錄之秘書處，統籌協調各項合作事宜、促進資訊共享，並支援後續雙邊或多邊協議的推進。
The global higher education community is preparing for a major international event as National Chi Nan University (NCNU) is set to host the 2026 Hanseatic League of Universities (HLU) Annual Conference and WURI Global Rankings for Innovation Announcement Ceremony from May 6 to 8, 2026. This unprecedented three-day international summit is expected to bring together 240 university presidents and institutional representatives from more than 90 universities across 14 countries. Beyond showcasing achievements in innovation and social impact in global higher education, the conference will feature a special multilateral MOU signing ceremony, during which NCNU and participating universities will jointly sign memoranda of understanding to establish substantive links in academic and administrative resources.
A major highlight of the event will be the unprecedented collective signing ceremony for the HLU–WURI Multilateral MOU 2026. Representatives from more than 80 universities around the world will gather to witness the formal establishment of this historic agreement, which embodies a shared commitment to innovative education and global collaboration.
The multilateral memorandum of understanding is centered on promoting innovation-driven higher education. It stipulates that the participating universities will deepen their cooperation in various areas, including joint research, dual-degree programs, education in artificial intelligence and digital transformation, academic exchanges, and innovation in higher education policy. The agreement emphasizes voluntary participation on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, while preserving the institutional autonomy of each signatory university, thereby reflecting the flexibility of contemporary international academic collaboration. The WURI Foundation Office will serve as the memorandum’s secretariat, coordinating collaborative initiatives, facilitating information sharing, and supporting the development of subsequent bilateral and multilateral agreements.
