Right after the end of the ExMEAC & AMEAC 2024, EUROAVIA Patras started the Academic Year in full swing. The new Local Board took over its responsibilities and began working hard with the first Board Meeting of the year!
Meet our new Local Board!

- WG Director: Georgia Pavlopoulou
Together with the start of the semester, EUROAVIA Patras started its recruitment of new members with an updated marketing strategy, carefully crafted by our Design expert, Renia Koutrakou. In an attempt to become more inclusive and open to everyone, EUROAVIA Patras is trying to showcase that being a member offers way more than just technical skills and access to competitions. Instead, anyone with a specific skill or talent that fits within our WGs and Project targets is welcome to join, no matter the subject of their studies. Additionally, our strategy is to aim at emotion and experience, something that is achieved through the posting of testimonials! Long-time members had the chance to share their experiences and the benefits they received by being part of the Association, persuading students to become members of our growing community! From Engineers and Aerospace Enthusiasts to Graphic Designers, BR and IT experts, EUROAVIA Patras has a place for everyone!
Simultaneously, EUROAVIA Patras was invited to present itself at the Faculty of Engineering and Aeronautics’ freshman welcome ceremony. Our President performed a brief presentation of EUROAVIA Patras and what the association offers at both the Local and International levels.
In addition, EUROAVIA Patras participated in this year’s UPFest (University of Patras Festival)! The four-day festival is a unique opportunity for freshmen to learn more about the city and the University, but also a great event where students simply have fun by going to concerts, playing games, and bonding with each other through various activities. EUROAVIA Patras was present throughout the event, with its very own stand where students could come and learn more about our Association. Featuring a booth rich with merchandise, posters, magazines, the History Book, and for the first time since this summer’s competition, our “Aether” ACC challenger, EUROAVIA Patras stole the show!
For the rest of October, EUROAVIA Patras is planning to build on its strong start by performing a presentation of its newly rebranded ACC Team, continuing its recruitment, and organising the first fun night of the year! Most importantly though, preparations are underway for our Local Group’s largest event, the “20 Minutes of Innovation (20MOI)” conference! Planned to take place on the 2nd of November, EUROAVIA Patras’ annual event is now on its eighth consecutive iteration! Featuring 20-minute-long pitches about innovation and aerospace from professors, startups and companies, this year’s 20MOI is aimed to be the best one yet!
