Identity

The Electrical Engineering STudents' European assoCiation is an apolitical, non-governmental and non-profit organization which targets and trains through it's activities students from electrical profile Universities, Institutes and Technical Schools in Europe. The association was founded in The Netherlands, in 1986. Nowadays, EESTEC is present in 21 countries and 39 universities across Europe with 1700 active members and indirectly, EESTEC is addressing all students in the faculties that EESTEC exists.

EESTEC's main goal is to promote, establish and develop international contacts and an exchange of ideas between students in electrical profile faculties. The activity of this organization relies on the skills, enthusiasm, openness and will of involvement of its members, also pursuing their professional development , the improvement of their technical knowledge and reaching their full potential. Moreover, students from all Europe meet and respect their differences and their cultures, and this empowered variety results in a firendly international environmet and creates awareness for a common European identity.

Our MISSION is to provide education complementary to that offered in universities to students willing to broaden their horizons and put in practice their skills. EESTEC wishes to facilitate the communication between the academic and the economic environment. We offer the students a handful of opportunities to build their desired career. We promote students that have technical knowledge as well as knowledge that will make them suited for today's demands. In this way we also address companies easing their contact with young men and women with various skills, ready to integrate in the environment they will be active in as future specialists.
