Now you may wonder, what is BEST? BEST is an abbreviation for Board of European Students of Technology and is in essence a student union for engineers. What makes BEST special is the "European" part. On this page we will try to further explain what the difference is between BEST and a typical Belgian student union...

Who and where?

All over Europe there are 94 universities with a BEST group, spread over 32 countries. Together they form the BEST-network for cultural exchange, competitions,...
The international board, assisted by 6 teams, is in charge of the organisation, guiding the groups. Everything is still voluntary work by students.
