Europe in Focus: STARS EU Student Board Members contribute to ESU Conference in Malta

The conference provided a unique platform for comparing the work of the alliances, discussing new structures, and strengthening cooperation. “It was impressive to see how many alliances have already developed advanced models for student participation,” says Alexander Peter, who is studying Aviation Systems Engineering and Management at Hochschule Bremen. “But it was also clear: STARS EU stands out very strongly in an international comparison—and is relatively well-developed. That gives us confidence—but also the motivation to push forward even further.”

It wasn’t just about strategies, but also about people. “I didn’t just make new friends, but also significantly improved my communication skills in an intercultural environment,” reports Davut Türk. “It was a real challenge—but also an incredible enrichment.”

Stefan Gort emphasizes personal growth: “I’ve learned even more about how to work together to find solutions in an international team with diverse backgrounds. That’s a skill I’ll need not only in my studies but also in my future.”
