Conference of the Alliances (CoA)

The Conference of the Alliances (CoA) is a student-led international gathering that brings together student bodies from University Alliances across Europe. It serves as a key space within the European student movement to:

  • Strengthen cooperation among alliances
  • Exchange best practices
  • Coordinate joint advocacy on European higher education policies
  • Shape common priorities at the European level

 

Alongside important discussions and strategic work, participants can expect engaging sessions, valuable networking opportunities, and the vibrant atmosphere of Malta.
