The European Association of Aerospace Students (EUROAVIA) is a European-based students' initiative, whose main fields of activity are aerospace, engineering and adjacent fields. EUROAVIA was founded in 1959 and is governed by Dutch law. This association represents the interests of over 2000 students from 42 Local Groups (Affiliated Societies) in 18 countries from all over Europe, counting over 2000 members in total. EUROAVIA works to develop current and future leaders promoting the EUROAVIAn Spirit, a set of common values based upon hard work, innovation, cultural awareness, teamwork, and international networking. Being both a non-political and non-profit association, EUROAVIA is managed exclusively by voluntary students with its various activities and projects entirely financed by membership fees, sponsorship, and participation fees. The main goal of all the activities that are organized from EUROAVIA is the strengthening of the connection between the students and the aerospace industry and also to stimulate its members to become aware and familiarize themselves with the traditions and the culture of the countries that compose the association. EUROAVIA also aims to internationally represent European aerospace students and promote European cooperation in the aerospace field by providing opportunities for its members to meet, exchange and learn at all levels.
