ABOUT BEST

Board of European Students of Technology (BEST) is a European non-profit, non-political and voluntary organisation. Born in 1989 to empower diversity between technology students, we have been creating a growing, dynamic, innovative and well-organised network. Through our services we aim to develop students and to shape the future leaders by encouraging communication, cooperation and self-development in more than 95 technical universities all over Europe.

We seek to create opportunities for Companies, Students and Universities to meet and work together. Each year, lots of local and international companies are involved in our projects. Thanks to a lot of opportunities for networking, our partners can engage students and have the chance to meet potential leaders and team-workers with exceptional knowledge, soft skills and a multicultural mindset.
