contents We prove that every abstract elementary class (a.e.c.) with LST number $κ$ and vocabulary $τ$ of cardinality $\leq κ$ can be axiomatized in the logic ${\mathbb L}_{\beth_2(κ)^{+++},κ^+}(τ)$. In this logic an a.e.c. is therefore an EC class rather than merely a PC class. This constitutes a major improvement on the level of definability previously given by the Presentation Theorem. As part of our proof, we define the \emph{canonical tree} $\mathcal S={\mathcal S}_{\mathcal K}$ of an a.e.c. $\mathcal K$. This turns out to be an interesting combinatorial object of the class, beyond the aim of our theorem. Furthermore, we study a connection between the sentences defining an a.e.c. and the relatively new infinitary logic $L^1_λ$.}
