Imagine that you get to spend two weeks with young people from all over Europe! It will undoubtedly be an adventurous experience with lots of parties. These places are called summer universities (SU), first organized in 1988, and they are the oldest running projects of AEGEE. By now, they became the most popular and most motivating events of the organization. Nearly a 100 summer universities are advertised in 40 different European countries every year.

The organizers are local youngsters, university students, while the participants are young Europeans of the widest variety, 20-40 for each summer university.

The admission fee for two weeks is somewhere between 140 and 180 €, which includes accommodation, activity participation fees, at least two meals a day, and local travel expenses. The costs of reaching the desired summer university destination are on the participants.
