EUROAVIA
EUROAVIA
The European Association of Aerospace Engineering students (The European Association of Aerospace Students), Euroavia, is a student initiative that acts at European level and has its origins in studies related to aeronautics, aerospace engineering and other similar fields. It was founded in 1959 and currently consists of more than 40 local groups distributed in more than 20 European countries, gathering in total more than 2000 members.
As a non-profit and non-political association, EUROAVIA is managed entirely by students and its activities are financed by member fees.
EUROAVIA Seville is a local association that is part of EUROAVIA. It was created by a group of aeronautical engineering students from the ETSI in June 2008 and unanimously accepted by the international commission as an affiliated association in October of that same year. In addition, it is the recognized association of the University of Seville with the most members and greatest activity.
The particular projects are financed by sponsors and fees of the participants and organized by the Board of Directors formed by 8 school students who are chosen every year through voting.
After 16 years of effort and dedication, our local headquarters, Euroavia Sevilla, has been imposed as the local leading headquarters at European level, serving as an example and guardianship for the rest. An association has been consolidated, formed by more than 200 members, characterized by not complying with developing their academic training within the school, promoting skills and aspects of their important lives as leadership, teamwork, languages or mobility.

EUROAVIA's objectives are:
- Establish a union between aerospace engineering students from across the European continent and stimulate cultural exchange of members.
- Provide information on company scholarships, European research centers of excellence, interships, etc.
- Create a group that can represent aerospace students internationally and thus reduce the distances between students and companies in the aerospace sector.
The objective will be to maintain the dynamics carried out these years offering the students of Aerospace Engineering the possibility of making multiple visits to companies in their future work environment and the realization of workshops in which they can put into practice the knowledge learned in classes and develop other skills. Activities will be organized both locally and internationally.
Internationally they will be carried out:
- ANNUAL CONGRESSES: The representatives of the different local headquarters meet two congresses: the EMEAC (Electoral Meeting of the Euroavia Congress) and the AMEAC (Annual Meeting of the Euroavia Congress). In these congresses, the future of the association is decided at the political, economic and social level.
- Fly-Ins: Organized by a local association, it is a week-long event for participants belonging to EUROAVIA. These students from different places in Europe have the possibility of attending both cultural and aeronautics-related visits, as well as conferences and social events in the organizing city.
- Symposiums: Similar in nature to the previous one, it differs in being a more technical and educational program. It consists of visits to companies, conferences and workshops (engineering, training and leadership...).
- Cultural exchanges: Event organized by two local groups that aims to bring both associations closer by carrying out an exchange between students.
- Contests: Organized by local offices, EUROAVIA International or companies.
In addition to the different events are the different working groups or “Working Groups”. The diversity of tasks they develop makes each of the partners identified with any of them and can participate helping the association.
At the local level, a series of numerous activities are organized that places us as the most active among the 38 locations:
- Local visits to the leading companies of the sector, airports, military bases, etc. Some of the most interesting visits are for the partners and that are not missing any year are those of the Rota military base, Morón de la Frontera and the INTA de Mazagón.
- Social events to consolidate the association, to share experiences and knowledge and to find motivation among multiculturalism.
- Participation in the organization of external events related to the aerospace sector. The purpose of this is to combine the good academic preparation that we receive daily in classes with the skills that the industry requires an engineer, such as teamwork, public speaking, leadership, good level of languages, etc.
- Technical workshops, such as design and rocket launch or airplanes.
- Working groups and scholarships: One of the great advances of the association is that it maintains working groups among the members of all local associations and in which anyone who belongs to it can participate. Some of them are dedicated to the distribution of the association's news (PR Working Group) . Likewise, there are groups in charge of coordinating online activities (Information Technology Working Group) . But without a doubt, the most interesting is the EYE WG, the portal for young aeronautical engineers, which offers the possibility of bringing companies closer to the association's students and vice versa. To do this, the EYE WG develops a database of Curriculum Vitae (CV) , job offers and scholarships offered by important companies in the sector.
The opportunity is also offered to participate as a member of the board of the international, a role with great responsibilities and good academic repercussions.
- English: The language of the association is English, although locally it operates in Spanish. International activities are carried out in English, which is a very good opportunity to practice the language and improve in technical aspects that are difficult to acquire otherwise.
- CV: All the association's activities have an academic component, so participating in its activities means enriching your CV with training experiences in different places in Europe. Furthermore, most of these activities are sponsored by important companies in the world of the aeronautical industry such as EADS, Brunel, Von Karman Institute, Rolls-Royce or ESA.
- Personal and professional enrichment: Participating in activities with European students with other cultures and educational systems allows them to directly face the European academic and work reality, significantly improving their communication, leadership and teamwork skills so valued by large companies.
- Get to know Europe: Participation in one of the many activities organized annually by EUROAVIA in various places in Europe allows the student to get to know, in a very suitable environment and with great economic advantages, different cities that would possibly be difficult to visit otherwise.
- Fun: EUROAVIA presents itself not only as a student association that celebrates activities related to the aeronautical world, but at the same time guarantees personal and social development that are widely valued in all the events that take place.
