EUA elections 2023

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. Candidates for President were endorsed by Council in October 2022, candidates for Board were endorsed at the January 2023 Council meeting. Council also endorsed the candidacy of Josep M. Garrell to stand for re-election to the Board in the event that he is not elected President. Candidate profiles are featured below.

The new EUA President will take office from 1 July 2023, after the term of office of Michael Murphy comes to an end. Successful Board candidates will take office immediately following the April elections. Further information on the voting eligibility of EUA members and the criteria for nomination of proxy representatives can be found on the General Assembly webpage and in the election guide.
