GTE represents itself through individual experts in the organisation.

The European Society of Agricultural Engineers (EurAgEng) was established in 1992 in a spirit of collaboration, to bring together those specialists of the sector, that recognized the need to communicate knowledge and experience, to foster mutual understanding and to promote professionalism among National Societies of agricultural engineers in Europe, as well as among individuals.

The successful series of agricultural engineering conferences demonstrated the strong desire for mutual contact and exchange among agricultural engineers throughout Europe, seeking to meet the challenge of increasing the food supplies and to resolve the diverse demands on the agricultural sector in industrialised nations.
