We are EUROAVIA, the European Association of Aerospace Students, and we represent the interests of over 3000 students from 42 universities in 18 countries.
We were founded in 1959, and our main purpose is to bridge the gap between aerospace companies and students.
Our primary goals are:
- To promote European cooperation in the aerospace field by providing opportunities for our members to meet, exchange, and learn on all levels.
- To acquaint student members with their future working environment by building contacts with the industry.
As our association is both non-political and non-profit, we are exclusively voluntary students in the organisation. Therefore, the various activities and projects offered are entirely financed by membership fees, sponsorships, and participation fees.
We organize diverse events throughout Europe, such as:
- Local activities that include visits, workshops, lectures, and social events.
- International Events, like Fly-Ins, Congress meetings, Symposia, technical as well as soft-skills Workshops, and Competitions.
We are also present famous European airshows, and on major aerospace exhibitions in Europe, with the examples of ILA Berlin, and Le Bourget, Paris.
In a nutshell, we, the EUROAVIAns, work relentlessly to develop current and future leaders, as well as to promote the EUROAVIA Spirit: a set of common values based upon hard work, innovation, cultural awareness, teamwork, and international networking.
