BEST - Board of European Students of Technology

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.

83 Local BEST Groups (LBGs) in almost 30 countries are creating a growing, well organised, powerful, young and innovative student network.

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.

Our priority is to offer high quality services for students all over Europe. Thus, we manage to bring all the partners in the "student - company - university" triangle closer.

bonding

bonding is a national student group in Germany with the goal of bringing students and companies together. The first bonding group was founded in 1988 at the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule (RWTH) in Aachen.

bonding is a registered association present at 11 university locations across Germany with more than 150 students actively working on various regional and supra-regional projects. The Company contact fairs, which are hosted annually at the 11 university locations, are our largest projects. But bonding is much more: Excursions to enterprises and industrial exhibitions, lectures, case studies and soft skill trainings give you the opportunity to learn more during your studies and gain insight while working for interesting companies. Next to the known events we are also trying to check out new event models like the bonding Industry Night, which is similar to a small contact fair. As you can see in our slogan, "From students for students and for free!" all the events are absolutely free of
charge for all the participants.

The name 'bonding' has origins in elements like transistors and diodes in integrated circuits from the semiconductor industry and ties in with a philosophy of many parts making up a whole.
