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 22 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 2025 includes, among other things, SAMOK’s action plan and the election of the Board of Directors for 2026, the political program and the policy paper on FSHS.

SAMOK’s General Assembly will be held on 30–31.10.2025 in Seinäjoki. The Assembly will start with a pre-event gathering and a candidate panel discussion on Wednesday 29 October.

You can participate in the General Assembly on social media by using the hashtag #samokliko.
