Remarks | The sole European Industrial Engineering and Management Student Organisation |
ESTIEM (European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management) is a non-profit, non-governmental and non-political student organisation that connects European students that combine technological understanding with management skills. The goal of this organisation is to establish and foster relations between students across Europe and support them in their professional and personal development. As of June 2024, the ESTIEM network counts over 8,000 students that are registered in 78 universities from 28 countries. [1]
ESTIEM has its seat in Eindhoven, Netherlands
The idea of the network was created during the WIFO 1990 seminar that was held in Darmstadt in January 1990. During the mentioned meeting participants from Darmstadt, Dresden, Graz, Helsinki and Karlsruhe decided to integrate a network of IEM Students and graduates to "enhance communication and co-operation". This network was called EAIM (European Association of Industrial Management). In November 1990 the statute of ESTIEM was signed in Berlin by representatives of 14 student groups from 6 countries. ESTIEM is an official student organisation registered in Eindhoven, since 1995.
Annually, ESTIEM delivers over 160 European wide events to its network of over 8,000 students. These events aim to support students in their personal and professional development by educating them in: Soft skills, IEM Seminars, Case Study competitions and Entrepreneurship. ESTIEM publishes two Magazines [2] annually that claim to provide insight into "forward-looking topics" in Industrial Engineering and Management, the print run is approximately 3000 copies.
The network consists of its Local Groups, which function as independent entities connected to IEM study programmes at universities over Europe. The purpose of the central level is to support the Local Groups in their activities.
The decision-making body of the network is the General Assembly, which meets twice a year in autumn and in spring at the Council Meeting. Each university, represented by its so called "Local Group", sends two student representatives.
ESTIEM offers students opportunities to develop themselves, including seminars, case study competitions, summer academies and training. These activities are set in an intercultural context, where individuals may find that different mentalities challenges their way of thinking. Making friends and exploring Europe by participating in European wide events that encourages open-mindedness, paving the way for friendships and a network of future colleagues across borders.
Local Groups are being divided into Regions in ESTIEM, every Region has a Regional Coordinator that is responsible to ensure the communication and cooperation among the members.
