Would you like to co-create recommendations for Europe’s future, work in an international team, and speak at the European Parliament? Join the European Student Assembly (Strasbourg, 20–22 April 2026) — a flagship EUC Voices initiative that brings together around 250 students from European University Alliances each year to debate and produce concrete proposals for change.
Students (from the 2nd year of Bachelor’s to PhD), up to 30 years old, from universities within the 65 European University Alliances — including ChallengeEU. You can apply as a participant or a panel coordinator (prior leadership experience is an asset for coordinators). On average, about five students per alliance are selected (numbers may vary).
Call for applications: 1 October – 2 November 2025, 23:59 CET
How to apply: complete the application form on the ESA website (“Click here to apply”) and indicate your preferred panel.
Participation in ESA is free; organisers provide meals and three nights of accommodation in a hostel. The reimbursement of travel costs is at the discretion of the European
Universities Alliances.
From January to April 2026, participants meet online (workshops, expert consultations, team work on recommendations). In Strasbourg, teams finalise their proposals and vote on all recommendations during the plenary session. After the event, dissemination activities with stakeholders follow.
Apply on the ESA website as a participant or panel coordinator. Applications close on 2 November 2025 at 23:59 CET.
