AEGEE was founded in 1985 in Paris by a group of students from the "Grandes Ecoles" under the name EGEE - Etats Généraux des Etudiants de l'Europe. AEGEE takes its name from one of the birthplaces of democracy, the Aegean Sea, and the first parliament at the dawn of the French Revolution, Les Etats Généraux. It promotes co-operation, communication and integration among students and young graduates on the continent, assisted by an unmatched network of European friends. Through critical and active confrontation with the Europe of today, AEGEE strives to develop an open and tolerant society for tomorrow. As a non-governmental, politically independent and secular, non-profit organization, AEGEE is open for students from all faculties. According to official estimates, AEGEE today has 20,000 members in 42 European countries. Since its creation, more than 100,000 young Europeans have become members of the AEGEE network.

AEGEE turns its call for European integration into reality. Summer Universities are held every year by a multitude of antennae, teaching the hosting country´s language and culture. Similarly, conferences are organized on topics as diverse as "Arts and Science", "European Security" and "Environmental Protection".
