International Working Group
The International Working Group primarily deals with topics that extend beyond Estonia, as decisions made at the international level also impact students here. These topics include the European Higher Education Area and the Bologna Process, the European Union’s education policy, mobility programs, and the broader international student representation movement. The Federation of Estonian Student Unions (EÜL) implements its international policy mainly through various associations. EÜL is a member of the European Students’ Union (ESU), the Nordic student unions network (NOM), the Baltic student unions network (BOM), and various temporary committees.
Note! International students without Estonian language skills are welcome to join the working group. However, proficiency in English is mandatory, as many working documents are in English.

Expectations for the Working Group
Main Events
BOM
The Baltic Organizational Meeting. The event takes place once a year and is rotational. For a small country like ours, strong international ties with both neighboring countries and more distant partners are of strategic importance. Sharing a similar historical background and geographic proximity, students from the Baltic States face largely overlapping challenges and opportunities.
Board Meeting
The European Students' Union General Assembly (BM) is held twice a year, with student unions from 40 countries represented. The location of the event rotates. Estonia hosted the 85th General Assembly in 2023.
NOM
The Nordic Organizational Meeting takes place annually, rotating between different countries, bringing together all student unions from the Nordic and Baltic countries.
