Organisation

Members are recruited by sponsorship and co-optation.

Our members (fellows, honorary, emeritus, associate and correspondents) come from a wide variety of backgrounds – engineers, industrialists, researchers, managers, pilots, astronauts, doctors, lawyers, economists, journalists, writers and artists – and together constitute a pool of knowledge unique in Europe.

Since 2007, AAE has embraced a European dimension, welcoming its European members as fellows.

Board

AAE is run by an Executive Board.

It is composed of a president, four vice presidents, a secretary general and a treasurer, all members of AAE.
