Summer University Where are YOU going this SUMMER?

What is Summer University A Summer University is usually a two-week event organised by an AEGEE local where between 20 and 50 students come together from all over Europe. Summer Universities are organised by students for students. The Summer University Project aims at opening a new perspective to the participants over the multicultural dimension of the European continent. It also promotes understanding among European students, removing national borders and creating a European feeling.
