UACES STUDENT FORUM

The UACES Student Forum is the student branch of the University Association for Contemporary European Studies (UACES) aiming to provide students with useful resources and networks for their research. The Student Forum was created in 1999 to provide UACES with a specialist body for its many members still in full-time education. The aim of the Student Forum is to provide a voice for graduate students within UACES and to facilitate dialogue and the exchange of information between students at different institutions.

It is not a pre-requisite for students to be a member of UACES to take part in the Student Forum, but by joining UACES as a Student member you receive extra benefits such as financial assistance to help with travel costs when travelling to or from a Student Forum event or a UACES event.
