The Campus Europae Student Council convened in the University of Aveiro on the 4th and 5th of December. Nikola Lakovic, from the University of Novi Sad, was elected President and Julia Höltge, from the University of Greifswald, Vice-President.

The Council has also debated its structure, mandate and ambitions and has decided to create a number of working groups focusing on promotion (Gordana Danilovic and Maria Rohava), local Alumni groups (Tiago Simões), joint projects (Indre Strazinskaite) and tutoring of new SC members (Ola Twarda).

A new version of the status was also discussed, introducing changes to whether member universities are represented in the Council by one or two student representatives, the latter being only applicable when there is a substantial number of incoming and outgoing students (albeit exceptions are foreseen). The Council has also changed its mandate in order to coincide with the academic year, rather than the fiscal year, whereby the next elections will be held in autumn 2010.
