Art. 21 - Student Conference
The Student Conference, the representative body of students at the University level, promotes and coordinates the participation of students in the university organisation and carries out consultative functions towards the governing bodies of the University pursuant to the provisions of the University Statute and Regulations, as well as propositional functions on subjects exclusively or prevalently concerning the interest of students.
The University governing bodies are required to respond with motivated resolutions to the proposals made by the Student Conference.
The Conference promotes and manages national and international relations with the student representatives of other universities.
It must provide for the formulation of the relevant opinions and other required fulfilments within thirty days from the request.
The Student Conference is made up of one student elected from each Department and eight members by right: four elected by the Academic Senate, two by the Board of Directors and two by the Evaluation Board. Members remain in office for two years.
The President is elected according to the procedures established by specific regulations; the rules for its functioning are defined by a specific regulation prepared by the Conference itself with the favourable vote of the majority of its members and is approved by the Academic Senate.
The University guarantees the Student Conference the resources and facilities necessary for the performance of its tasks.
