New board

EURAVIA Leuven is pleased to announce its new board for the upcoming academic year. A group of eight dedicated students are eager to contribute to the continued success and growth of our student association. We are confident that this team, with strong motivation and diverse talents, will bring innovative ideas and effective leadership to our association.

Recap Year ‘23-’24.

After a decline in activities during the corona pandemic, EUROAVIA Leuven lost its presence among students. Dissatisfied with the lack of aerospace related events outside of class, four motivated students decided to bring new life to the organization. This is an overview of our first year back.

We started off strong with our Kick-off quiz that attracted almost 70 participants and a gliding initiation by LUAC. We continued with a lecture on Moon Missions and ended the first semester with a company visit to Safran. After the winter break, we first visited TUI. Next was the very successful Space in Flanders event in collaboration with the STAR research group. Our president and secretary joined the Lustrum of 65 years of EUROAVIA and the EMEAC congress in Istanbul during the easter holiday for a taste of the international side of our association. We concluded a very successful year with our Member Night. 

We are grateful for our president Mathis Vandevorst, who led us through this post-COVID revival year. His determination was one of the factors that contributed to our success. Vice-president Mattias Vermeersch had an equally important role and took care of the public relations. Lars Verboven enriched the board as secretary, taking care of official matters. Lastly, the connection with companies was made by Milan Adams. We also would like to thank Catherine Mertens for her help in the second semester. Our dynamic board was the key to a successful year.  

We can look ahead to a bright future for EUROAVIA Leuven! With the next board being announced in July, the organization will continue to improve the quality of its events and grow to new horizons.
