Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an AS and an AM?

An AS (Affiliated Society) is a full member group located within Europe. An AM (Adjunct Member) is a full member group located outside of Europe. Both share similar rights and benefits, but administrative details vary slightly based on the region.

What do abbreviations like PPAS, PAS, or PAM mean?

These abbreviations describe your group’s status during the onboarding process.

  • PPAS (Possible Prospective Affiliated Society): Your status right after your application is accepted.

  • PAS (Prospective Affiliated Society): Your status after the EUROAVIA Congress officially votes for your admission. After successfully organizing your first international event as a PAS, you may become a full AS. The abbreviations PPAM and PAM follow the exact same logic, but apply to groups based outside of Europe.

How long does the entire application process take?

The process is tied to our international congresses, which take place twice a year. Typically, it takes a few months from submitting this initial application form to your official presentation and the voting process at the next congress. We will guide you through every step.

What kind of international event do we have to organize?

You have flexibility.
Events can range from technical symposia and hands-on workshops to cultural exchanges like Fly-ins or even one of our yearly congresses.

The International Events Working Group (IE WG) will help you choose and plan an event that fits your group’s size and resources.

Do we need to study strictly Aerospace Engineering to join?

Not at all. While EUROAVIA is an aerospace association, we welcome students from all related fields, as long as you share a passion for aeronautics and space.

Is there an application fee to start the process?

No, the application process itself is completely free. The annual membership fees only apply once your Local Group is officially accepted into the network.

How many people do I need to start a new Local Group?

You need a core team of at least 5 motivated students to form a strong local board. This ensures that the workload is distributed and your group has a solid foundation right from the start.
