Call for Mini Session St. Veit/Glan I Officials

We are excited to announce that the call for Officials for the first Mini Session of this academic year, namely the Mini Session St. Veit/Glan I, taking place on 25 May. We are still looking for a President, Vice-Presidents, Chairpersons, Journalists and Organisers, so if you are interested in any of the roles and teams of EYP sessions and would like to try them out on a smaller scale, this is a great chance for you!

Whilst the session is guaranteed to happen regardless of the format (either physical or digital), we are currently preparing for a digital session. At the same time, we have also secured a second Mini Session for St. Veit/Glan, which will take place on 2 July that might be realised as a physical event – further details will be published in time!

Find the official call document and application document for the Mini Session St. Veit/Glan I here. You can apply as an Official until this Friday, 30 April 2021, 23:59 CEST.

We’re looking forward to your applications!

General Assembly Update & Policy Amendment

It is our pleasure to announce that the General Assembly 2021, taking place online on Sunday, 20 June, from 13:00 CEST onwards, will have Patrick DeutschmannMatthias Klonner and Maria Köpping acting as the electoral commission (electoralcommission2021@eyp.at). Additionally, Elke Zöhrer and Tobias Gradenegger will be in charge of the GA minutes as secretaries. We want to already thank all of them for their engagement for the organisation in their roles!

In the same vein, we want to hereby inform you that to allow for a three-person electoral commission, the Board of EYP Austria had to amend the Policy on Elections, which previously required exactly two commissioners. This has now been changed to “at least two” commissioners, of which we want to hereby inform you in line with EYP Austria’s Policy procedure. During the upcoming General Assembly, this amendment will be up for debate and can be revoked again.

You can find all Policies of EYP Austria and the Policy procedure here in a dedicated folder on the EYP AT Drive.
