From 26\u201328 May, over 220 students from across Europe met at the EU Parliament in Strasbourg for the 4th European Student Assembly, EUC Voices\u2019 flagship event. <\/strong>One of the delegates representing the Unite! alliance was Maciej Kisielewicz from Wroc\u0142aw University of Science and Technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This prestigious event marked the culmination of several months of online collaboration. Participants took the seats of Members of the European Parliament and, after structured debates, formulated policy recommendations on some of the most pressing challenges facing Europe today. \u2013 Taking part in the European Student Assembly 2025 in Strasbourg was a breakthrough experience for me \u2013 both personally and academically \u2013 <\/em>says the Wroc\u0142aw Tech student.<\/p>\n

For three days, I had the honour of sitting in an MEP\u2019s seat in one of the chambers of the European Parliament, alongside more than 220 students from 189 universities. Representing the voice of the young generation of Europeans\u2014those who think about the future of the continent beyond national borders\u2014is a unique responsibility. I worked on the panel dedicated to inclusive innovation. As an engineer and a young researcher, I know how incredibly important this issue is. The opportunity to translate technical knowledge into the language of legislative recommendations was immensely enriching.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What impressed me most was the diversity of perspectives \u2013 conversations with fellow students and PhD candidates from Finland, Austria, and Italy showed how different the local challenges are, and yet how much we have in common. I returned to Poland full of energy and with a strong conviction that the decisions made in Brussels and Strasbourg truly can \u2013 and should \u2013 be shaped by the voices of students and young scientists. I strongly encourage all students of Wroc\u0142aw University of Science and Technology to follow the recruitment for the next edition of ESA. It\u2019s a unique opportunity to meet inspiring people and see that our ideas can genuinely shape the future

Taking part in this event and spending time in Parliament truly motivated me for what’s ahead. It makes you want to get more involved and keep making your voice heard \u2014 especially on crucial topics like artificial intelligence, where the input of scientists is essential. Even if it doesn’t always come naturally to engineers or researchers, it’s also important for them to engage in public debate. And on a European level, it’s even more vital: Europe allows these discussions to be brought to the highest level and to influence decisions that affect all of us.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n
