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.
AIESEC (pronounced eye-sek) was originally an acronym 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 organization. Members of AIESEC are known as “AIESECers.”
We are a global network of young leaders under the age of 30 who strive to better themselves and the communities around them. We are passionate about world issues, leadership development, cultural understanding and experiential learning.

AIESEC does not have a pre-defined or officially accepted political tendency or subscription.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT US
Once I arrived at the NGO I understood that I would have a different experience. Spending time with these children is probably the most beautiful thing that has happened to me, they were the ones who taught me, every day.

AIESEC has been a great accelerator for me: I have much more self-awareness and I know how to use my strengths to achieve my goals. And I still treasure this today, every day.
Eleonora Barile
My five years at AIESEC, which began at my university in Bari and continued in Milan, Rotterdam and concluded in Yangon, Burma, were fundamental to understanding what kind of man I wanted to become and what the core values of my life were.

AIESEC helped me realize that I still had a lot to improve and to offer to those around me. For this reason, the most significant impact was the one AIESEC had on me. It changed the way I view and approach problems.
