AEGEE and Science, let the love story revive!
As a young researcher interested in how the world works, I have always been surprised by the limited amount of science-related events we have in AEGEE. While it is true that our members are mostly studying social sciences and languages, this should not keep them from being curious.

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I’ve Got Plastic Soup in my Tummy
Sounds tasty, doesn’t it?

Re-introducing the Word ‘Forum’ – Ivan Bielik on AEGEEDebate

Stretching Your Right Arm is a Violation against Human Rights
A few weeks ago, the football team AEK Athens won against Veria, which made Giorgos Katidis want to celebrate. He did this, using the Nazi salute.
