With its University Alliances (UA) Program, SAP offers a hands-on and future-oriented education by providing professors and students worldwide access to the newest SAP technologies. The program focuses on universities and institutions of higher education, which want to integrate SAP software actively in their curriculum.

The SAP UA EMEA User Group Meeting on Feb 15, 2011 is the yearly meeting for all professors and lecturers of the EMEA region who are members of the University Alliances Program. The event aims at researchers as well as at industry and education partners interested in the current developments and trends regarding the use of SAP software in teaching and research. The conference brings together experts from different areas, e.g. economics, information technology and computer sciences, to discuss current topics regarding teaching and curriculum development at universities and other institutions of higher education. As part of the event, speeches, discussion groups and information booths offer the possibility for an intensive exchange of experiences with colleagues and to establish new contacts. Details will be announced in the agenda.
