Alma Mater Europaea conferences invite, connect and unite broad perspectives, knowledge, skills, and interrelationship in an educational environment where opinions from all over the world collide and call for solutions between countries by building bridges of understanding and innovation and by discovering and using opportunities in science and education. The most representative scientists from the academic fields of health, medicine, social gerontology, social work, law, education, mental health, psychology, psychotherapy, leadership, project management, communication, archival science, informatics, philosophy, and humanities share their ideas and findings on interdisciplinary and transnational approaches.

The last conference, ‘It's About People: Social and Technological Development in Service of Security and Dignity,’ brought together modern scientific findings and political views on social and technological development for safety and dignity. A dialogue of different opinions worldwide called for overcoming the modern contradictions between academic knowledge, disciplines, cultures, and countries, according to the principles of Alma Mater Europaea - transnationality, interdisciplinarity, and building bridges.

Students also actively participate in the conferences. Ph.D. students present their research, and master's students prepare and publish reviews. Undergraduate students write summaries of their papers.
