What is ESA 2025?

The European Student Assembly is a grassroots project that annually gathers over 200 students from various European university alliances to debate current issues, develop policy recommendations for Europe’s future, and promote them among stakeholders and decision-makers.

From February to May 2025, the selected students will work with other panel members to deepen their understanding of the topic and begin drafting recommendations. The students will:

• Meet experts and follow online training in policy-making and moderation.
• Analyze the political and legal context, identify the main challenges, and determine priorities.
• Propose concrete solutions to these challenges, to be implemented by stakeholders at various decision-making levels.

The project culminates in an assembly at the European Parliament in Strasbourg from May 26-28, 2025, with a range of activities for students from the 64 alliances.
