The first main session of the meeting revolved around the sports activities.

The EC then confirmed a first list of Competition Chairs for the European Universities Games 2026, and approved October 17-18, 2026, as dates for the next European Students Run 2026, held within the 30th edition of the Ljubljana Marathon (SLO).

Regarding internal matters, the EC Members approved the establishment of a proposed list of EUSA permanent commissions for the 2025-2029 period, and the establishment of several EUSA working groups, together with the appointment of the related Chairs and the call for nominations for the permanent commissions.

The sessions continued with the nomination of the representatives for the EUSA Institute General Council, and the opening of the call for applications for the EUSA Solidarity and Development Fund 2026.

The Executive Committee Members finally confirmed 3 new universities as Associated Members, pending final approval by the next General Assembly, namely: Polytechnic University of Catalonia (ESP), University of Innsbruck (AUT), and Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University (TUR).
