BEST
BEST (Board of European Students of Technology) is a constantly growing non-profit and non-political organization. Since the founding of the organization in 1989,
BEST has been providing co-operation and exchange possibilities for students all over Europe.
As of now 85 Local BEST Groups (LBGs) in 30 countries are creating a flourishing, powerful, young and innovative student network.
BEST strives to help European students of technology to become more open-minded and internationally aware,
by providing opportunities to gain a better understanding of European cultures and developing capacities to
work on an international basis. Therefore, we host academic and non-academic events and
educational symposia for the students to meet and learn from one another.
Although we focus on the academic and social enrichment of university students,
our final goal is for them to be well-rounded when they enter the job market.
In order to further help students, we offer services such as an international career
centre to broaden their horizons for the choice on the job market.
Our priority is to offer high quality services for students all over Europe.
Thus, we manage to bring all the partners in the "student - company - university" triumvirate closer.
