BUP Presidency

From 2016 all BUP National Centres will hold the BUP Presidency for six months according to a rotating schedule. The presidency was introduced in order to decentralize and share responsibilities with the centre and by this establish a formal platform for them to influence the organisation in practice. The holder of the BUP Presidency is responsible for the content and arrangement of some of the BUP's annual events, as well as promotion of the BUP in the own country, along with additional events and activities aimed at strengthening the programme in the country and the region as a whole.

Current BUP Presidency

During the spring semester 2023 the BUP National Centre in Lithuania holds the Presidency. They will host the BUP student conference, a BUP Teachers Course meeting and the Student Summer school “Science and Sail”.

Presidency reports

After each semester the national centre that has held the Presidency shares a presidency report which contains information about what they have worked with.
