Borderless

What makes AEGEE truly European is that it does not use national level but solely relies on local groups (called antennae) in university cities all over Europe. The structure, itself, does not allow a creation of physical and tries to erase the existence of mental borders between students coming from all parts of Europe. In the end, the activities of all antennae are co-ordinated by the European Board (Comité Directeur). In order to contribute and give support in the area of Higher Education, East-West relations, Culture, International Politics and Public Relations, the supporting working groups have been created.

Activities

Larger scale conferences are regularly organised and they cover various topics as: "Peace and Stability", "Borderless Europe", "Managing the new Eastern Border" and many other.

European Commission

AEGEE enjoys support from the European Commission, has consultative status at the Council of Europe and UN. AEGEE is also a member of the European Youth Forum and has has co-operated with UNESCO on international projects.

Last but not least, AEGEE is made of incredibly motivated young people, who work for what they believe, getting in return personal satisfaction and hope that they have slightly influenced the course of things they have touched. In short, the European minded finds in AEGEE an almost perfect environment to learn and act as a European.

Twenty years of AEGEE

Starting from a spectacular students conference about the future of Europe in Paris in 1985, AEGEE developed into a dynamic network with 260 branches all over Europe - a network with no national level. The association became a frontrunner of many European developments. After 20 years of existence, AEGEE is stronger than ever before.
