The European University Association will hold elections to fill several positions during the Association’s 25th General Assembly, taking place in Gdánsk, Poland, on 20 April 2023.
The Assembly will be invited to vote for the EUA President and for their preferred Board candidates for the period 2023-2027. Candidates were put forward for endorsement based on the recommendation of the EUA Nominations Committee, which oversaw the selection and interview process following a call for nominees.
