:: Summer University project 2005 ::

The Summer University application is open; all the member of AEGEE can apply until 3rd of May via the SU web page www.aegee.org/su. This is the most famous and successful project in AEGEE, which started in 1988, takes place each year and involves more than 150 cities and 6000 students in 30 different European countries. This project has been developed by AEGEE-Europe as the main tool to promote European Integration among young citizens.
A Summer University is usually a two-week event organized by an AEGEE local when about 20 to 60 students come together from all over Europe. One of the project’s keys to success is its effort to involve as many people as possible in a multi-cultural environment. For approximately 120 euros, a student can attend a 14 days Summer University event in a foreign country.
