ESTIEM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ESTIEM (European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management) is the only pan-European organisation for students in the field of Industrial Engineering and Management (IEM). Its main goal is to increase communication and cooperation between students and institutions of technology within Europe. The IEM concept rests on the integration of technological understanding and management skills. The studies provide analytical capacities, engineering knowledge and practical management experiences. This makes IEM students valuable since they are able to do business while understanding the underlying technology. As the demand for internationalisation is constantly growing in the uniting Europe, young people with both a European orientation and experience will be most needed.

Through its 66 member groups ESTIEM today represents more than 45,000 students in 25 countries. Founded in 1990, it aims at establishing and fostering interrelations among students of IEM. Multinational project teams organise a broad scope of Europe-wide activities such as exchanges, conferences, case study competitions, lectures and workshops. This makes ESTIEM a unique network connecting people with different cultural backgrounds and experiences.
