Student Traineeships And Work Experience Placements Abroad - IAESTE
The International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience

65th Anniversary

In 2013 IAESTE is celebrating its 65th anniversary! What started in 1948 with 10 countries has grown and grown into the association we know today. We didn’t want to let the year pass without recognition so we have created a whole host of events and competitions under the banner ‘IAESTE – Changing lives for 65 years’.

Whether you’re an alumnus, member of an LC or NC, a trainee going on an IAESTE internship this summer or even a student that wants to participate in future, there is something for you!
