SYL, the National Union of University Students in Finland, is the association of the Finnish student unions, which represents the Finnish university students in national decision making. The annually appointed board implements the action plan and the policy paper which guide the advocacy work of SYL. The policy paper and the action plan will be approved in the union meeting where the board is also elected. The union meeting of the year 2017 will be held in Tampere on 17th – 18th November 2017. SYL’s union meeting is an excellent vantage point to the Finnish student movement as well as university students’ national interest representation and its impact on students’ everyday life.
In the union meeting, AYY is represented by a delegation which consists of 14 union meeting representatives who use the student union’s voting right in the union meeting, and their deputies. The board will appoint the delegation to SYL’s union meeting after consulting the Representative Council groups. An open electronic application will be organised for the delegation.
The application is open until Sept 10th 2017 11.59pm.

At its meeting 7/2012, the Representative Council approved a regulation on acting in a union meeting. The regulation is available here.
All delegation members are expected to take part in meetings preceding the union meeting. The meeting calendar will be updated on this page soon.
