>> EESTEC International is an organization of and for electrical engineering students from universities, institutes or schools of technology in Europe that award an engineering degree. The primary aim is to promote and develop international contacts and exchange ideas, as well as improve the technical knowledge of electrical engineering students. The association also aims to introducing students to the industry and the educational system of other countries.

     The primary aim of EESTEC is to promote and develop international contacts by exchanges. The exchange of ideas, as well as improvement of technical acknowledgement between electrical engineering students is made possible through workshops. EESTEC is also promoting international career and job opportunities. For example, one of the on going projects in that field is to make a database of electrical engineering professionals so that the companies can easily find suitable people for their purposes throughout Europe.

     The electrical engineering aspects of EESTEC are expressed through Workshops, the most important activity of the Association. During a one week seminar lectures are presented by specialists from the industry and universities, and discussions are conducted in small group sessions. The subjects are for example new technologies, special fields of electrical engineering or social aspects of engineering. An EESTEC Workshop is a strictly professional event with a bit of local sightseeing and feasting.

     In the Exchange students from two or more Local Committees visit each other for about ten days. During these multilateral meetings the participants gain their awareness of the foreign university reality, industry and cultural aspects. It offers practically unlimited possibilities to the organizers.

     The EESTEC Congress is the annual General Assembly of the Association in one of the member cities. During this meeting the current affairs of EESTEC are discussed and decided upon. It should be a place and occasion to discuss organizational matters and operating policies, to elect the new Board, to establish Exchanges and Workshops, etc.
