General Assembly of the National Union of Students in Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences SAMOK

The highest decision-making power in our union is exercised by the General Assembly. Students from 21 universities of applied sciences come to the event to represent their student unions. The General Assembly is a thrilling and somewhat exhausting event, but definitely also one of the highlights of the year!

The agenda of the General Assembly of 2026 includes, among other things, SAMOK’s action plan and the election of the Board of Directors for 2027.

SAMOK’s General Assembly will be held on 29–30.10.2026 in Helsinki. The Assembly will start with a pre-event gathering and a candidate panel discussion on Wednesday 28 October.

You can access the materials of the meeting here closer to the meeting.
