how we work

The governance framework of the EULiST Alliance ensures transparent, inclusive, and efficient coordination across all partner institutions. Our model balances strategic oversight, academic integrity, and operational delivery with a strong emphasis on student involvement.

ABOUT US

The EULiST governance model is composed of three integrated tiers:

STRATEGIC TIER: Governing Board, Advisory Council, Student Board – The Governing Board (GB) provides strategic
leadership and makes high-level decisions. In addition, the Advisory Council and the Student Board contribute by
offering advice, perspectives, and stakeholder input to support the GB’s work.

EXECUTIVE/MANAGEMENT TIER: Management Board led by the Secretary General ensures implementation of
strategy, operational cohesion, and provides executive-level leadership.

OPERATIONAL COORDINATION: Alliance Coordination Office (Virtual) – Executes daily operations and ensures internal coordination and involvement at the institutional level.
