Go to ECSAS 2026!
EucA, together with NASPA, is a proud organizer of ECSAS, the European Conference of Student Affairs and Services.
ECSAS is a forum for student affairs professionals, academics, researchers, and practitioners, to exchange ideas about pioneering programs, best practices, models, and trending topics in student affairs.
"What I appreciate the most about ECSAS is the community that it builds. Student Affairs in Europe is not so well-known, so being able to network with colleagues is very helpful."
A. D., Associate Dean of Students
"Presenting at ECSAS has been wonderful, it has contributed to my professional development. Listening to people's insights and feedback was very enriching."
N. N., Student Advisor
"ECSAS was a great opportunity to connect with fellow professionals working in international education both in the US and Europe, exchange insights, and learn new practices in the sector."
R. H., Assistant Director for Student Life
