Map of BEST LBGs in Europe

BEST, Board of European Students of Technology is a constantly growing non-profit and non-political organisation.

Since 1989 we provide communication, co-operation and exchange possibilities for students all over Europe.

96 Local BEST Groups(LBGs) in almost 33 countries are creating a growing, well organised, powerful, young and innovative student network. (check this interactive map).

BEST strives to help European students of technology to become more internationally minded, by reaching a better understanding of European cultures and developing capacities to work on an international basis. Therefore we create opportunities for the students to meet and learn from one another through our academic and non-academic courses and educational symposia. “Learning makes the master”, but the final goal is a good working place, therefore we offer services like an international career centre to broaden the horizons for the choice on the job market.
