FAQ
About EUROAVIA
EUROAVIA is Europe’s largest aerospace student network. We build a direct bridge between students, universities, and the aerospace industry, while connecting a huge community across different countries and cultures.
No, we are a regular registered student association (e.V.). There are no strict hierarchies, outdated traditions, or weird initiation rituals here. We are just a community of students who share a passion for aerospace, want to gain practical experience, and enjoy spending time together.
Yes. We are an officially recognized student organization (Hochschulgruppe) at TU Dresden. While we are deeply integrated into the local campus and utilize university facilities, we operate as an independent local chapter within a much larger European network.
We are a strictly non-profit organization. Every single Euro we get through membership fees or industry sponsorships goes directly back into funding our local events, workshops, and activities for our members.
EUROAVIA International is the European umbrella organization connecting thousands of students across more than 40 cities in Europe and beyond. EUROAVIA Dresden is your local chapter. We bring the EUROAVIA spirit right to our campus, organizing the day-to-day events and local community, while serving as your gateway to the massive international network.
Our local chapter is led by a Local Board, consisting of students who are elected annually at our General Meeting during the summer semester. As a member, you can simply enjoy the events, or you can step up and shape the association! We are currently building local Working Groups for specific tasks, and you always have the opportunity to join International Working Groups to collaborate with students from all over Europe.
Being a Member
Not at all. While our main focus is aerospace, we welcome students from all study fields. Whether you study mechanical engineering, computer science, business, or anything else: if you are interested in aviation or space, you fit right in.
You can join us at any time! You are always welcome to drop by one of our casual social events without any obligations to meet the team and see if you like the vibe. Keep in mind that to participate in official industry tours, specialized workshops, and international congresses, you will need to be a registered member.
Not at all! Basic conversational English is completely sufficient. Since we have a large community of international students, English is our main language for most activities. However, there are always German speakers around if you need them. Joining us is actually the perfect, low-pressure environment to naturally improve your English and boost your general communication skills.
That is completely up to you. You can just drop by for a pub night once a month, or you can take an active role in organizing international congresses with us. There are no mandatory working hours.
For all details regarding membership fees, your formal obligations, and a full overview of our local and international events, please check out our Join Us page, the local event calendar or the international events page.
While we are not a recruitment agency that places you directly into jobs, joining us is one of the best ways to build your professional network. Through our exclusive facility tours, hands-on workshops, and our alumni network, you will connect directly with industry professionals. For many of our active members, these casual connections naturally lead to internships, working student positions, or thesis topics.
We do not issue formal participation certificates just for signing up. However, if you take on an active role, like organizing an event, joining a working group, or serving on the Local Board, this is fantastic, verifiable experience for your CV. Your contributions will be highly visible within our network, publications, and event archives, which speaks louder than a standard certificate.
Not at all! Whether you are in the first semester of your Bachelor’s degree, deep into your Master’s, or working on your PhD. As long as you are an enrolled student, you are completely welcome. Our community thrives on the mix of different experience levels.
