General Assembly
EuroScience currently represents over 2 600 members from 40 European countries.
The General Assembly is the sovereign body of the association: it consists of all members with the right to vote. It approves the association’s accounts and sets strategic guidelines for the two following years. Honorary members serve in an advisory capacity.
The last General Assembly took place at ESOF2020 in Trieste, Italy.
The next General Assembly will be held during ESOF2022 in Leiden, The Netherlands.
