After World War II, in 1946, students from 9 universities in six countries met in Liège, Belgium, with the aim to build up a new form of cooperation.
They created the ‘’Association Internationale des Etudiants en Sciences Commerciales et Economiques’’ (AIESE). Its mission was to create relations between student organisations and so provide exchange opportunities.
Jaroslav Zich, a young Czech, was elected president. It was decided to put the headquarter in Prague, Czechoslovakia.
As the communists gained power in this country and in order to stay political neutral, AIESE had to leave the country that same year.
In 1949 a second congress was hold in Stockholm. Six countries attended it: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, The Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.
The representatives signed the foundation document of the ‘’Association Internationale des Etudiants en Sciences Economiques et Commerciales’’ (AIESEC).
Its headquarters are located in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Today the acronym ‘’Association Internationale des Etudiants en Sciences Economiques et Commerciales’’ is no longer used as today its members belgon also to other studies.
‘’AIESEC is an international, non-political, non-profit, student-run, independent, educational foundation. It is comprised of students and recent graduates of institutions of higher education who are interested in economics and management. AIESEC does not discriminate on the basis of race, colours, sex, sexual orientation, creed, Religion, national or ethnic origin.’’
The Core Work of AIESEC consists of promoting and organizing an international exchange program. It gives students the opportunity to make a traineeship abroad.
AIESEC operates graduate exchanges in four areas -- managerial, technical, educational and development.
