European Democrat Students (EDS) is an umbrella organisation of European political centre-right student organisations. EDS was founded as International of Conservative and Christian Democratic Students (ICCS) and comprises student and youth wings of conservative, Christian democrat and liberal parties in the European Democrat Union.

Full members status is held to the European Youth Forum (YFJ) which operates within the Council of Europe and European Union areas and works closely with both these bodies.

EDS is also recognised as an associated organisation of the European Peoples Party (EPP), in addition to recognition as an NGO at the Council of Europe.

Organising seminars, summer and winter universities all over Europe, EDS tries to connect likeminded students from in- and outside Europe.

A list of member-organisations can be found on the EDS website.
