The EU-StudentVote Project was born in the Sorbonne in Paris in October 2000 during the "NEWROPEANS 2000 Congress - New Europe, New Challenges, New Generations", from the encounter of younger generations with new technologies, and from the urging need to democratise the European Union.

From the beginning, EU-StudentVote is deep-rooted in a quadruple dimension:

. The future of the European Union, and the need for new approaches in the European construction in the coming decades
. The role of young generations and in particular that of the student engine in the invention of tomorrow's Europe
. The importance of new technologies in this new environment
. The importance of education as a theme, and as a vector of this renewal of the European construction and methods.

The project:

95% of European students cannot mention even the name of a single student organisation, active at European level. Therefore, we can say that the democratic deficit of the European Union begins already with the young people.
