Why join?

With the Summer Universities (SUs) of the student organization AEGEE, you could be sipping Italian wine in Turin or get lost in the Nordic forests of Estonia. All over Europe there are students who organize these SUs which are the most authentic and fun ways to get to know new countries and cities, but also to meet likeminded young people from other European countries. Whereas some SUs are focused on experiencing the local culture, others are also involved in personal development through workshops. You can choose the Summer University that fits your interests!

What are they?

Every summer you can apply to one of our many Summer Universities and this year it is no different. Summer Universities are events organized by local branches of the European student organization AEGEE. They generally take around 1 or 2 weeks and are full of activities around a certain theme of that specific SU to give you a taste of the local culture or to develop new skills. The local organizers make sure that you have a place to sleep and provide you with food at least two times a day. As the SUs are organized by students for students, the focus is to keep the price low-budget for participants. To get a feeling of the summer that awaits you, you can watch the video below. If you want to know which SUs are out there, you can check out this website.
