ESTIEM
The organisation known as ESTIEM (European students of Industrial Engineering and Management) was created to increase communication and cooperation between students and institutions of technology in Europe within the field of Industrial Engineering and Management (IEM). The Industrial Engineering and Management concept rests on the integration of technological understanding and management skills. The studies provide analytical capacities, engineering knowledge and practical management experiences, which make IEM students valuable since they are able to do business while understanding the underlying technology. As the demand for internationalization is constantly growing in the uniting Europe, young people with both a European orientation and experience will be most needed.
ESTIEM is the only Europe-wide organisation of IEM and represents today through its 61 member groups over 40,000 students in 21 countries. Founded in 1990, it aims at establishing and fostering interrelations among students of IEM. Multinational project teams organize a wide scope of Europe-wide activities such as exchanges, conferences case competitions, lectures and workshops. This makes ESTIEM a unique network connecting people with different cultural backgrounds and experiences.

Activities
By means of several diverse activities, ESTIEM realizes its aim. The scope of these activities varies from the local level to Europe-wide projects. The foremost European events, which include TIMES and VISION, are organized by numerous different member groups. Local activities include "activity weeks", summer academies, carreer fairs and workshops.
A considerable part of these activities consist of exchanges between universities, varying in length from only a few days to several months. ESTIEM groups visit each other in order to learn about foreign study environments and to get to know the companies and universities in different European countries. Through the range of mutual activities students establish personal contacts and familiarize themselves with different cultures.
