The Council of European Aerospace Societies (CEAS) is an International Non-Profit Association, with the aim to develop a framework within which the major Aerospace Societies in Europe can work together.

As part of this framework, CEAS has begun working on listing student challenges around Europe. In due time, one can find the student challenges on this page.
