Goals:
EUASA member associations intend to create a platform sharing key information between the individual national associations (AACUPI, AAECG, ASAPI, AAUP/CZ, APUAF, AUCS, APUNE, etc.), and discuss how it can assist with promoting, facilitating, and reinventing study abroad in Europe;
EUASA members intend to provide training, support best practice and offer better services both on a European level and locally to their national member associations;
EUASA intends to offer a European perspective in regards to immigration, fiscal and labor laws, useful to the various national associations, to their individual programs and to individual students;
EUASA as a European-wide association would like to increase visibility and influence with national governments through their ministries moving towards the European Union, in Brussels, in order to negotiate common, simplified legal, fiscal and immigration rules for our programs in the EU/Schengen area;
EUASA as a Pan-European association intends to lobby the EU government in order to facilitate student mobility within Europe, possibly by following existing models (ex. Erasmus/Erasmus Mundi).
