Their role is fundamental to involve students in Politecnico life, also through active participation in discussing fundamental issues, such as teachings, courses, research and services to students.  Positive results have been reached in the past thanks to student delegations involvement, thus encouraging students to believe in their ideas communicating them to the representatives who will make their voice heard.    

Elections are issued every two years. The last election were held in December 2012.  

Student delegation is part of: 

• Board of Governors – 2 delegates 
• Academic Senate – 5 delegates, one of them has to be enrolled to PhD;
• Professors and Students Joint Committee/CPD – 11 delegates, one for each department. 

Student delegation participates also to Department Councils and Study Courses Commissions.  

Moreover, Politecnico students elect a delegate for the EDISU (Ente per il Diritto allo Studio) Board of Directors. In this Board there are also two delegates from University of Torino and one delegate form Oriental Piedmont University. [Ongoing modifications] Lastly, two delegates are also elected for CUS (Comitato Universitario dello Sport di Torino) Torino Committee.
