The 2025 General Assembly takes place on 5 June 2025 during the EUNIS25 Congress at Ulster University, Belfast.
All staff of EUNIS member organisations are entitled to take part in the GA meeting. The representatives of European Higher Education and Research institutions (regular members) in good standing (i.e. having paid their annual membership fee) vote to elect the new Board.
The General Assembly is where we share updates from the EUNIS Board and Special Interest Groups, present the annual budget for approval, and elect new board members. It’s your opportunity to help shape the future of EUNIS!
Find the preliminary agenda below:
1. Welcome and confirmation of voting rights
We will open the General Assembly with a warm welcome and formally confirm the registration of voting representatives to ensure quorum.
2. Approval of the 2024 minutes
The minutes from the 2024 General Assembly in Athens will be presented for formal approval by the voting members.
3. Story of the year: What we’ve achieved together
We reflect on the past year’s highlights, showcasing achievements from our Special Interest Groups, community growth, and strategic impact across Europe.
4. Shaping our future: strategic and legal housekeeping
We will present a proposed amendment to the statutes to enable hybrid General Assemblies and electronic voting, making participation more accessible. This change sets the stage for an extraordinary e-GA in autumn 2025, where we aim to adopt a fully revised version of the statutes aligned with our strategic developments.
5. Membership matters: growing our community
A strong and growing membership base is essential for shaping our community and for generating the revenue needed to expand our impact. With more members, we can do more to support initiatives, deliver content and drive meaningful change. Members will vote to approve our new institutions.
6. Strategic focus and EUNIS initiatives
We share the vision behind the 2024–2025 strategy and how it’s shaping EUNIS’s work. You’ll hear about our partnerships, our European positioning, highlights from SIGs, the launch of new SIGs on Open Science and Learning Technology, progress on EUNIS rebranding, and updates on congress proceedings and plans for EUNIS26.
7. Finance and accountability
We present the audited financial report for 2024–2025, the proposed budget for 2025–2026, and ask the Assembly to approve the accounts and grant discharge to the Board and Treasurer. We will also elect scrutineers for the next internal audit cycle.
8. Board elections: meet the candidates
Get to know the candidates standing for the EUNIS Board: who they are, why they are motivated to join, and what perspectives they bring to EUNIS.
9. Closing: What’s next?
We wrap up with a look ahead: how you can continue to engage with EUNIS, contribute to our work, and benefit from being part of the European higher education IT community.
10. Any Other Business (AOB)
An open opportunity for members to raise any final points, questions, or reflections.
Only regular (institutional) members who have paid their membership fee can vote. Each institution has one vote reserved for the main contact person for the institution.
