The 24th EUA General Assembly (GA) will take place on Thursday 28 April, 10:00-11:00 CEST at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. The GA follows the annual Leadership Roundtable which is scheduled for 27 April (16.30-18.30 CEST) and precedes the Annual Conference taking place on 28-29 April.

Executive heads of EUA members institutions will have received the invitation to register for the GA together with the draft meeting agenda on Tuesday 22 February from EUA Secretary General, Amanda Crowfoot. Registration for the GA and Annual Conference is open until Wednesday 13 April.

The GA meeting agenda includes regular statutory business, an overview of EUA’s main achievements in 2021 as well as priority actions for 2022. Related documents will be circulated to executive heads and main contacts of EUA member institutions and organisations at the latest two weeks before the meeting.

Members who wish to register participation are kindly asked to take note of the information provided below on voting eligibility and proxy nominations. Questions relating to participation can be directed to eua-ga@eua.eu.

• MEMBERS’ VOTING ELEGIBILITY

EUA full members (individual and collective) with no outstanding memberships fees, up to and including 2022, are eligible to vote on statutory items presented during the GA. The deadline for receipt of fee payments is Friday 8 April. EUA members who have paid membership fees in full and who have registered for the General Assembly will receive an email from the online voting platform on or before 22 April granting access to vote on statutory items at the GA. Enquiries related to payment of membership fees can be directed to membership@eua.eu.

 

• PROXY REPRESENTATION

Voting is open to executive heads (university presidents, rectors and vice-chancellors and presidents of rectors' conferences) of full EUA members. Executive heads who are unable to attend the GA may nominate a representative from within their leadership team to vote on their behalf.

Alternatively, executive heads may nominate the head of another EUA full member to vote on their behalf. Please note that any member of the General Assembly may hold only one proxy from another EUA full member. Both the institution transferring a vote and the nominated proxy institution must have paid all outstanding membership fees.

 

Executive heads wishing to nominate a proxy should complete the proxy nomination form by Friday 8 April at the latest. Please direct any related enquiries to eua-ga@eua.eu.
