Roles in EASA
There are different roles within EASA which make the assemblies happen. These are structured around national teams, which enable the spread of information within the international community. The roles regularly found in every assembly are participants, national contacts (NCs), workshop tutors, helpers, guests and organizers. Below you can find information on what the different roles mean and of the timelines and process for participating in EASA in these roles.
Tutors
Tutors are the ones initiating, proposing and guiding the execution of workshops during the assembly. Tutors can come as individuals or as groups. EASA is open to an interdisciplinary approach and welcomes tutors coming from disciplines outside architecture. Tutors may also be at very different stages in their careers as students, educators or practitioners.
Schedule
We will be publishing the Tutor pack on 24th of November 2024 and the deadline for initial workshop proposals will be on 22nd of December. We will give feedback for initial workshop proposals by 12th of January 2025.
We will host the intermediate tutor meeting, ITM, in Savonlinna 15.-19.1.2025. The deadline for final workshop proposals will be three weeks after that, 9th of February 2025. Decisions on workshops of the event will be made in March 2025.
Looking forward to reading your amazing workshop proposals and hoping to see as many of you as possible in ITM!
Participants & NCs
The biggest part of the EASA community are the participants. Primarily students ofarchitecture across all levels of study and coming from all corners of Europe. They are the main attendants of the workshops.
National Contacts form the key communication link between organisers and participants. as well as between EASA as an international and a local community. They are responsible for the distribution of information amongst the EASA network, both on a national level throughout the year and within the national team during the EASA gathering.
National Contacts are in charge of selecting the participants who form the national team each year. Most of the time, NCs have attended previous EASAs and are well linked within the community. Anyone wishing to apply as a tutor, or ask more questions about EASA, is encouraged to reach out to their NC for advice. An up-to-date contact list can be found here.
Schedule
The sign up for participants of the event will be in April 2025. This will be through your local national contact, so follow their info channels for more info later! You can find the way to contact your local NC on this site.
For NCs: we will be sending out the NC pack in March 2025. The participant call will be open 1.-23.4.2025 and leftover places distribution will be 23.-30.4.2025.
Helpers
Helpers are the volunteers making EASA possible. They coordinate and facilitate the different functions and logistics of the event. When helpers are off shift, they may choose to visit or help with workshops.
Schedule
The call for helpers will be open 23.4.-11.5. More info will be posted here closer to that.
Guests
Guests are people visiting EASA for a few days without a specific role. Often they are old easians who can’t commit to the event for the whole two weeks.
The call for guests will be open in May/June 2025.

Organizers
Each year, a core group of students and young designers will take on the task of hosting the assembly in their country. They are the ones responsible for the selection and curation of the programme and workshops. They are the key point of contact for any queries around potential involvement, contributions, collaborations or sponsorship.
