Meet Eddie, Member of the Month for August 2026 and get to know a bit more about his journey with EUROAVIA.
Can you briefly introduce yourself?
My name is Eduard Apostol, but everyone knows me as Eddie. I joined the Business Relations Working Group (BR WG) at the start of May and the Social Media Working Group (SM WG) at the end of April, so it’s been around five months now for both of them. Also I have been part of the board for the former EUROAVIA Training System Working Group (ETS WG) since 2025.
Explain a bit about the WG. What is your work, and how do you organise the tasks among your members?
The Business Relations WG is in charge of EUROAVIA’s relationships with companies and partners. We look for new sponsors, keep current partners updated and happy, and prepare the offers and presentations we send out. As for the Social Media WG, it looks after how EUROAVIA shows up online. We plan and produce content, from event promotion and live coverage to reels and the Member of the Month features.
What keeps you motivated in your WG?
What keeps me going is seeing something we made out in the world, whether it’s a post people react to or a reel that gets members excited about an event. The people help too, since it’s hard to lose motivation when the group is bonding and creating together.
Describe your WG in one word.
I would say that for BR, the right word would be “persistent” since it’s not easy to keep yourself motivated, especially since I’ve met with many rejections in the time that I’ve been working in BR, both locally and internationally.
For Social Media, the right word would be “diversity”. Obviously l, you have to be creative to cause diversity, diversity in what we post, in what we create and in everything we show online. That is what keeps people engaged.
What’s your favourite thing about EUROAVIA?
My favourite thing about EUROAVIA is the mix of people and opportunities. You can be an engineering student who loves aviation and still end up editing videos, working on international projects and meeting people from all over Europe who care about the same things. It’s a place where you learn by actually doing.
How did you feel when you found out you were chosen as Member of the Month?
Honestly, finding out I was selected for MoM (Member of the Month) caught me by surprise. I’ve spent a good while editing other people’s Member of the Month videos, so seeing me on the EUROAVIA page this time was really surprising, but it was a great feeling to know the work and effort were noticed.
Finish with a catchy phrase.
I will leave you with one of my favourite quotes from one of my favorite movies:
“Travel a lot, meet plenty of people and live like an extrovert”.
See you around!
