The 2025 edition, themed "Nature = Future," emphasizes the urgent need for humanity to reconnect with nature. This theme highlights both the simplicity and complexity of the equation facing our civilization, urging a rethinking and rebuilding of our future in harmony with the living world. The event will feature five distinct tracks:

  • Universal Track: Covering various topics and accessible to all.
  • Biodiversity Track: Focusing on issues related to living organisms, in partnership with the French Office for Biodiversity (OFB).
  • Parliament of Future Entrepreneurs: Addressing transformations and economic change.
  • International Track: Offering a global perspective with international speakers and sessions translated and broadcast live.
  • Université de la Terre Junior: Providing a one-day program for children aged 6-12 and their parents, aiming to engage the younger generation in awareness, understanding, and action through concrete steps.

The event is supported by numerous allied networks sharing its values and vision for a sustainable future. Additionally, the Université de la Terre Endowment Fund, established in 2022, mobilizes funds generated during event registrations to support impactful and sustainable projects. This edition will also feature the benevolent presence of "The Little Prince," thanks to the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Youth Foundation, symbolizing a collective reflection on the future of our planet and its inhabitants.
