Our Name

AIESEC. Formerly an French acronym for "Association Internationale des Etudiants en Sciences Economiques et Commerciales". Today, we no longer use this acronym as our membership has grown to encompass a much wider range of disciplines than only economics and commerce, and our Role in society and the Core Work we do are reflected more accurately below.

Our Nature

AIESEC is a global, non-political, independent, not-for-profit organisation 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 race, color, gender, sexual orientation, creed, religion, national, ethnic or social origin.

Our Vision

Peace and Fulfilment of Humankind's Potential.

Our Role

Our international platform enables young people to discover and develop their potential to provide leadership for a positive impact on society.

Our Core Work

AIESEC provides its members with an integrated development experience comprised of leadership opportunities, international internships and participation in a global learning environment.
