  • Network of around 260 Locals, in 40 different European countries.

In AEGEE there isn't any national level in order to promote international co-operation and avoid creating any nationalism or mental borders.


Our organizational structure is based on:


 

  • Local level - where people from the autonomic AEGEE locals (called Antennae), in their university cities, directly implement AEGEE aims in a way that serves best the needs of their local community.
  • European level - which gives the great common frame and direction for all local activities and provides a platform for international co-operation in multicultural teams.

 

cosa_regioni.png


All the Aegee Network is divided into 10 Regions not according to national level. Task of the Network Commission (NetCom), composed of one member from each region, is to support the locals and be a connection through the locals and the European Level.


Aegee Firenze is in the Rainbow Region that includes all the locals in Italy, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Malta, Montenegro and Slovenia. More at Network Commission internet site.


The european board (Comité Directeur - CD), based in Brussels, is composed by 9 students from at least 4 different nationalities and no more than 3 from the same country. These students usually take a break from their studies for 1/2 to 1 year and move to Brussels to the AEGEE head-office in rue Nestor de Tière 15 to steer and lead the association. They are elected at the general assembly of the association (the AGORA) taking place twice a year, where all the delegates from each local meet and set up the guidelines of the association according to the proposal discussed during the European Board Meeting.


During the AGORA also the members of the Commissions (Audit, Juridical, Members, Network), Project Teams and Working Groups are elected as well as the Liaison Officers.

Elements of AEGEE

Antenna is the name for each AEGEE local. An antenna organizes at least one European event in one year, as well as local activities. Currently there are almost 260 antennae of AEGEE in Europe, from Moscow to Madrid, from Istanbul to Stockholm.


The Agora, AEGEE General Assembly, meets twice a year. Up to 1000 AEGEE members, delegates of each locals, gather for three-four days to discuss proposals and projects, take decisions and set up the guidelines for AEGEE


European Boards' Meeting (EBM) is the meeting of the Board members of each AEGEE local, or its representatives. It lasts three days and takes place once a year (February-March). In an EBM are discussed the proposals that will be voted and decided at the Agora.


Comité Directeur (CD) is the administrative and representative body of AEGEE. It is formed of a maximum of nine people from different nationalities, that work voluntarily from the AEGEE-Europe headquarter, in Brussels. It's composed of President, Financial Director, Secretary General, Public Relations Director, Network Development Director, External Relations Director, Director for European Institutions, Projects Director and Human Resources Director. They are elected at the Agora. More information here.


Working Groups (WG) are the thematic backbone of AEGEE. They are international groups whose members organize events based on a specific topic, as politics, European minorities or environmental topics. For more information click here.


The Commissions are support and control bodies for the CD or the AEGEE locals. There are four: Audit Commission, Juridical Commission, Members Commissions and Network Commission. For more information click here.


The Project Teams coordinate the work of the projects all over Europe. These projects can be conferences on a specific topic, thematic days and any kind of activities. These teams consist of members from different nationalities, elected at the Agora.. For more information about projects click here.


The Liaison Officers (LO) represent AEGEE-Europe towards an institution or organisation (for example UNESCO or European Youth Foundation). The CD decides for which institutions a LO should be appointed and decides on the person as well, after having addressed an open call (on the main mailing list) to the network. Anyway the decision has to be ratified by the Agora.

Commissions

The Commissions are supporting or controlling bodies to the European Board (CD). They are: the Audit Commission, the Members Commission, the Juridical Commission and the Network Commission. The members of the Commissions are elected by the European general assembly (Agora).


Audit Commission checks the bookkeeping and approves the financial reports of AEGEE bodies (AEGEE-Europe, Locals, Working Groups). The 3 financially competent members have to be from three different AEGEE locals and of course they cannot be members of the CD in order to guarantee the independence of this organ.


Juridical Commission consists of 2 persons from different AEGEE locals (plus one person appointed by the CD). They have legal knowledge and they are responsible for updating the Corpus Iuridicum Aegeense which contains our principles, statutes and working formats. Apart from that, they verify if the statutes of the locals are conform to the model statute defined by AEGEE-Europe, are responsible of the voting procedure during the Agora.


Members Commission is convoked in cases of severe incidents inside the network, trying to investigate the problem and to find an adequate solution. It is composed by 4 members plus by the President of the Juridical Commission (and one observer of the CD, but without voting rights).


Network Commission Composed of 10 members: the Netcom Commissioners of each region. They elect one person among themselves who is the Speaker of the Network Commission. The Network Commissioners support and motivate the locals in their area, stimulate the cooperation among the locals and help to set up new locals. The Netcommies are some kind of mediators between the locals and the CD as well: since the CD can't care about every single local, the Netcommies assure the flow of communication between them. Aegee-Messina is part of the Rainbow Region that includes Italy, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Malta, Montenegro and Slovenia.
