AIESEC History

 

Founders of AIESEC started to build the organization between 1946 - 1948, while clear vision and mission of organization were formed only at the International Congress in Stockholm in 1949.

 

The mission of AIESEC (from Fr. Association International des Etudientes en Science Economique et Commercial; now this name is not used, there is only an abbreviation) was "to develop friendly relations among nations and peoples." International Student exchange became main source on achieving this goal. During this time organization defined its status as an international, nongovernmental, nonprofit and nonpolitical organization.
