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.
