BEST

BEST, Board of European Students of Technology is a constantly growing non-profit and non-political organisation. Since 1989 we provide communication, co-operation and exchange possibilities for students all over Europe.

80 Local BEST Groups (LBGs) in 30 countries are creating a growing, well organised, powerful, young and innovative student network.

BEST strives to help European students of technology to become more internationally minded, by reaching a better understanding of European cultures and developing capacities to work on an international basis. Therefore we create opportunities for the students to meet and learn from one another through our academic and non-academic courses and educational symposia. "Learning makes the master", but the final goal is a good working place, therefore we offer services like an international career centre to broaden the 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" triangle closer.

Statement of Purpose

BEST will develop activities in order to help European students of technology become more internationally minded, reach a better understanding of European cultures and develop the capacity to work on an international basis.

We will achieve this purpose through the active involvement of our members, in challenging and innovative projects, providing the conditions for their personal development and putting their abilities to full use. We will value integrity and seek a wide range of contributions to the advancement of the association.

We want to provide European students of technology with development opportunities, while broadening their knowledge of other cultures. As a result, we hope to bring a significant added value to the services provided by the universities, thereby increasing the potential contribution of students to their communities.
