=== A Little Bit of IAAS History ===

Founded in 1957 in Tunis by 8 countries, the International Association of Students in Agricultural and Related Sciences is at the moment one of the world's biggest student organizations and one of the leading agricultural student associations. IAAS gathers students studying, majoring or researching in agriculture and related areas like environmental sciences, forestry, food sciences, landscape architecture etc. 

Its committees are now spread in universities in over 40 countries worldwide.
IAAS is a place where agricultural students from all over the world meet each other, experience new mentalities and cultures, travel and see new places and learn about all aspects of agriculture together with their future colleagues. 

The aims of IAAS are to promote the exchange of knowledge, information and ideas among students, and to improve the mutual understanding between countries and cultures.

To do this, we organise activities like seminars,  working camps, international meetings, exchange weeks, an international  exchange program, small-scale development projects etc.IAAS has a long standing tradition and history. Below, you can see 2  of our reports that were discovered during the Archive Day. The first is  the report of the 7th IAAS World Congress in1963  and the second is a report from  a seminar in Denmark in 1976.
