What is the YUFE Student Forum?
The YUFE Student Forum gives students a real voice in shaping the YUFE Alliance and its vision for a truly inclusive European University. Here’s what you should know:
🎓 Made up of students – Each YUFE university has 3 student representatives in the Forum
🗣️ Student perspective first – The Forum ensures that student needs and ideas are central to all YUFE decisions
🤝 Working together – Forum members collaborate with staff in YUFE’s working groups and planning teams
🌍 Pan-European teamwork – Students from across Europe help guide how YUFE grows and evolves
💡 From vision to reality – The Forum has been involved since the very beginning, turning ideas into action
The Student Forum plays a key role in making YUFE student-centred, inclusive, and open to all.
The role of a Student Forum member takes many forms
Starting in September, a new Student Forum team will represent UAntwerp in the YUFE Alliance—Enes, Elisa, and Charlotte will be taking the reins from Julia, Nassim, and Arne.
As part of the YUFE Student Forum, they’re not just representing YUFE students on our campus—they’re the voice of all UAntwerp students in this European university network. Their role?
Gather and share your input with the wider YUFE Student Forum
Work with student reps from other YUFE universities to influence the alliance’s direction
Co-develop real initiatives by joining one of the YUFE working groups
Shape student involvement in YUFE through internal governance and active collaboration
Just like our Studentenraad, the YUFE Student Forum works on structure, teamwork, and making sure student participation is taken seriously—across borders.
