EYE is built up of the different member associations of the most of the countries in europe.
The main institutions of EYE are the EYE council, the management team, the management board and the member associations.
The Council
EYE is governed by its Council, which is composed of two representatives from each member association. Between them they decide what the Management Team should focus on between conferences to expand and strengthen the EYE network. Recent focus has been to formalise the structure of the organisation and help it raise vital funds to continue its work. The Council meets twice a year (usually coinciding with the conferences held that year) in a European city hosted by the young members of one of the member associations.
The EYE Council also has the responsibility to vote in new member associations to EYE as well as electing the President and seven Vice Presidents to the management board. Membership of the Council is dependant on the rules of the individual member associations and Council Members are elected usually from the active younger members’ boards of their own associations.
