NKSU – The Nordic Conservative Student Union

The Nordic Conservative Student Union, NKSU, is a co-operation organisation for centre-right student organisations in the Nordic, Baltic and northern European countries. Today the organisation has a total of eight member organisations from eight different countries.

The NKSU is a forum for exchange of political and ideological ideas. The aims of the NKSU is to encourage contact and co-operation between conservative student organisations in northern Europe and encourage a cultural understanding and to work for a conservative, centre-right, educational policy.

The main activities in the NKSU are to arrange different types of seminars in close co-operation with the member organisations in order to strengthen to political exchange between the countries.

The NKSU is headed by a council consisting of a president (currently from Finland), a vice president (currently from estonia), a secretary general (currently from Sweden) and a representative from each of the other organisations. The council is elected yearly at the annual meeting where all member organisations have one vote each.
