Governance
The General Forum is the core decision-making body and driving force of FORUEU4ALL. It is where all strategic decisions are made, including the approval of deliverables, the selection of workshop topics, and the validation of external communications. Each alliance appoints a maximum of three members, including the coordinator. As all coordinators are part of the General Forum, every alliance has an equal voice in shaping the project's direction.
The Forum Board is composed 15 Alliance members elected on a one-year rotating basis. The work package leaders are members of the forum board, which meets regularly to coordinate efforts and ensure the smooth preparation of the General Forum.

ENHANCE
FOREU4ALL has established an External Advisory Board to ensure the formal engagement of external stakeholders in the governance and strategic development of the initiative.
This advisory body provides guidance to the General Forum and brings a crucial outside-in perspective by including at least five representatives from different sectors, including students, universities, quality assurance bodies, and universities of applied sciences. Its composition may be expanded over time as required.
The Advisory Board meets twice a year to provide recommendations on policy developments, priorities, and initiatives of the Community of Practice. Topics for discussion include the position of the European Universities Initiative within the broader European policy context.
In this way, external stakeholders, including students, play an active role in the governance of FOREU4ALL and contribute directly to its success and impact.
