The European Young Conservatives (EYC) is a grouping of

centre-right
political parties in Europe.

As of 2014, the group has a membership of 25 political youth organisations from 22 countries and territories, in addition to four associated members. The EYC is independent and not affiliated with any

Alliance of Conservatives and Reformists in Europe
(formerly known as the European Conservatives and Reformists).

The EYC is a full member of the International Young Democrat Union.

History

The EYC was founded in August 1993 by the youth wings of the British

Conservative Party, Danish Conservative People's Party, and Icelandic Independence Party, under the leadership of Andrew Rosindell, then-chairman of the UK's Young Conservatives.[1]

It emerged from a split in the centre-right

federal Europe
.

From 1993 to 1997, the group was led by Rosindell.[2] The group gave training to newly established democratic political parties in Russia, Belarus, and Azerbaijan.[3] It was refounded much later by Oliver Cooper.[4]

The EYC generally holds three conference events per year, with the largest being the autumn Freedom Summit.
