BEST Vienna

BEST Vienna is an association registered in Austria with the aim to provide students of technology with development opportunities so that they could become more internationally minded, reach a better understanding of European diversity by broadening their knowledge of other cultures and develop capacities to work on an international basis. The priority of BEST is to offer high quality services for students and manage to bring all the partners in the "student - company - university" triangle closer. In order to achieve its aim, BEST Vienna makes it possible for all the students at Vienna University of Technology to participate at public BEST academic and non-academic courses and even take part in organising such events. BEST Vienna was founded at the beginning of the year 2002 by eight students who were highly interested to establish new international contacts and wanted to get involved into global student activities. Today there are almost 30 students of the TU Vienna with different fields of study, actively working for BEST Vienna to constantly improve and expanse our services for regular (non BEST members) students.
