Last week, a meeting was held in Vienna to assess the current status of the EULiST Alliance and initiate preparations for the upcoming General Assembly, scheduled for April.

Key representatives from member universities, including the rector of Rey Juan Carlos University as well as the director of internationalization and Chair of the EULiST Management Board, Pablo Salvadores, participated in this gathering.

The meeting focused on two main objectives. Primarily, evaluating the Alliance’s present situation. Subsequently, starting preparations for the General Assembly, set to take place in L’Aquila, Italy, in two months.

One of the key takeaways, as Salvadores explained, was the decision “to continue growing and expanding the project by seeking new funding sources”. In this regard, EULiST is exploring the possibility of expanding its partnership by incorporating non-European universities.

Furthermore, the meeting, chaired by the rector of Brno University of Technology (BUT), and Chair of EULiST, Ladislav Janicek, served to prepare for the other major event that EULiST plans to hold this semester: the Student Board. This gathering of Alliance students will take place in Douai (France) and will bring together more than 200 students from across Europe.

URJC will soon launch a call for applications, allowing all interested students the opportunity to participate in this event.

Interested students can find more details about the opportunity through the official EULiST channels, with the conference scheduled to take place from 30 June to 4 July 2025. The event will bring together students from the 10 universities in the EULiST alliance, providing a unique platform for exchanging ideas and experiences.
