Association of Christian Democratic Students
The Association of Christian Democratic Students (German: Ring Christlich-Demokratischer Studenten, RCDS) is a German student organisation founded in 1951.
The organisation stands politically near the Christian Democratic Union, a conservative German political party. It is one of five founding members of the European Democrat Students, which arose from coooperation between RCDS and Swedish students that started in 1958 at RCDS's annual meeting in West Berlin.
