The 15th annual meeting of the European Academic Heritage Network UNIVERSEUM focused on academic heritage, encompassing both tangible and intangible aspects. Discussions centered on the preservation, study, access, and promotion of university collections, museums, archives, libraries, botanical gardens, astronomical observatories, and historically significant buildings. The conference theme, "Enhancing University Heritage-Based Research," highlighted the extensive study of cultural heritage, including collection studies, historical and social studies of science, natural sciences research, didactic research, museum studies, and conservation analysis. Research is a core mission of universities, prompting questions about the role of university heritage in this context. What research is being conducted, and how is it shared with the public? How can university heritage be made more relevant in research development and outreach? Additionally, the meeting explored how research can transform university spaces into heritage sites and how it can elevate artefacts, specimens, books, manuscripts, and documents into recognized heritage. The discussions aimed to assess the potential of university heritage as a multidisciplinary tool for research activities, drawing on experiences, case studies, and in-depth papers to address these critical issues.
