The European Student Assembly (ESA) gathers each year more than 250 students from the European Universities Alliances (EUAs) to debate current issues, draft policy recommendations on the future of Europe and advocate them among stakeholders and decision-makers.
This initiative invites a new generation of European University Alliances (EUA) students to collaborate on key topics shaping Europe’s future. Over several months, participants will debate and draft policy recommendations on essential topics for students. The project will culminate in a deliberative assembly at the European Parliament in Strasbourg from May 26–28, 2025
