WBAA Governance

Erasmus+ International Student and Alumni Networks >WBAA homepage

WBAA is governed by a Regional Board, the network’s decision-making and management body, which serves a two-year term. The Board comprises twelve members, with two representatives from each of the six National Chapters: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia. 

The Regional Board are supported by WBAA teams, which focus on key areas of WBAA's work. There are currently four WBAA teams:

• Quality mobility and student exchange within higher education

• Higher education reform and equal access to higher education

• Transition from higher education to the labour market and professional life

• Research

The structure and governance of WBAA follow the principle of democratic representation. The organisation has a Statute and Internal Rules and Regulations that define, guide and safeguard the democratic functions and decision-making processes.

The WBAA Statute is the foundational legal document of the organisation, defining the mission, principles, governance structures, membership rules, bodies, and procedures.

The WBAA Internal Rules and Regulations define how the organisation functions internally by establishing the internal procedures for meetings, elections and voting mechanisms. All the provisions of the Internal Rules and Regulations are formulated in accordance with the Statute.

WBAA acknowledges the contribution of the former Regional Board members who served during the previous mandate:
