16.06.2025 Announcement: EUPeace´s student-led events confirmed!

As part of WP5’s “student-led event” initiative within the EUPeace alliance, the Student Council has reviewed and provided feedback on all submitted event proposals. These student-driven projects—ranging from workshops to debates—aim to promote peace, justice, and inclusion across our partner universities.

A dedicated commission of four Student Council members evaluated applications on criteria including remote accessibility, student involvement, project quality, and alignment with EUPeace values. Applications fall into two categories: those seeking certification only, and those requesting both funding and certification.
