EGEA is the european geography association which forms a network around Europe to exchange knowledge and information for geography students and young geographers. To achieve this goal, EGEA organises congresses, student exchanges, hosts foreign students and publishes a small information paper: the newsletter.

In 1987 students from Warsaw, Barcelona, Vienna and Utrecht universities came together and started the idea of a European geography association. Since then, 14 congresses have been held and EGEA has grown from the four participants (entities) to nearly 40 entities in around 20 different countries.
