The Summer University Project is a project of the European Students' Forum or Association des États Généraux des Étudiants de l'Europe (AEGEE) focusing on cultural exchange and nonformal learning. It is organised by the members of the local groups of AEGEE. Each year, between 70 and 90 Summer Universities in over 100 cities take place as courses of usually two weeks.

Types

Currently there are three Summer University types: the Summer Course, the Summer Course Plus and the Travelling Summer University.[1]

Summer Course Plus (SC+)

The Summer Course Plus is an intensive course of any subject. These courses are officially recognised and supported by the university or an educational institution where they take place and lessons are taught by professional teachers. Participants receive at least 20 hours of tuition per week. The fee of 90 Euros/week includes tuition, lodging, two meals per day (of which one is warm) and a social program.

Patronage

The Summer University Project 2011 of AEGEE is currently under the patronage of Mrs Androulla Vassiliou who is a member of the European Commission.

The patronage consists of moral support which cannot involve any financial obligation for the Commission.
