After a first decade of advancements and network reinforcement, from the beginning of the 1970s, EUROAVIA started lacking sponsorships. Companies were not considering investing in EUROAVIA profitable enough, which led to problems in financing the activities of the association. Moreover, the members started losing interest and they were not identifying anymore with the highest principles of the association. Under these circumstances, a period of low activity and engagement commenced, which we can refer to as the “dark years” of EUROAVIA.

June 2024 Update from AS Dresden
All the German local groups of EUROAVIA pride themselves on their connection on a national level. We organise events together like visits to the manufacturing plant of Airbus in Hamburg or a trip to Hannover to visit the Bundeswehr and their fleet of A400M. All these activities take place once a year in a meetup in one of the towns in which EUROAVIA is represented in. Previous instalments of this tradition were hosted by Bremen (2021), Aachen (2022), Stuttgart (2023) and now for the 4th year in a row we were able to organise such a get-together. This year in – maybe the most beautiful German city – Dresden.
