AIESEC is a global platform for young people to explore and develop their leadership potential. We are a non-partisan, independent, not-for-profit organization run by students and recent graduates of institutions of higher education. Its members are interested in world issues, leadership and management. AIESEC does not discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion or national/social origin.
Since we were founded, we have engaged and developed over 1,000,000 young people through an AIESEC experience.  The impact of our organisation can be seen through our alumni who represent business, NGO and world leaders. As for example one Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Martti Ahtisaari of Finland.

AIESEC was founded in 1948 by the 7 founding nations including Jean Choplin (France), Bengt Sjøstrand (Sweden), and Dr. Albert Kaltenthaler (Germany). Over 65 years later we are present in +100 countries and territories.

AIESEC (pronounced eye-sek) was originally a French acronym standing for “Association Internationale des Étudiants en Sciences Économiques et Commerciales.” AIESEC is no longer used as an acronym but simply as the name of the organisation. Members of AIESEC are known as “AIESECers.”

AIESEC is a global network of young leaders under the age of 30, collectively striving to better ourselves and the communities around us. We are passionate about world issues, leadership development, cultural understanding and experiential learning.
The organisation spans +100 countries and territories in total. In all of those, every aspect of AIESEC’s operations are managed by students and recent graduates.
We have operated in this way since our inception, making us uniquely “by young people, for young people”, for over 65 years. The global leadership teams are elected by the membership annually.

Anyone who believes in the AIESEC vision. If you support our mission and live by our organisational values, or are a member of  AIESEC.
This can also include our partners, who relate to our organisational ethos and vision. But also parents, friends, etc… are part of our organisation, by constantly supporting us in our leadership development journeys.
