Seminar on IAESTE Development SID, Hungary

The 22nd Seminar on IAESTE Development, was held from 19-22 April 2007 in Budapest, Hungary.

Unlike the Annual Conference, which focuses on the exchange of placements, SID brings delegates together to focus on the development and improvement of IAESTE as an International organisation.

This year, 58 delegates were in attendance from 24 countries worldwide including 20 National Secretaries. The work at SID was broken down into four Working groups led by Work group Co-ordinators.

However, SID is not only about work. Delegates were able to spend time learning about the culture of their host country and got to see some sights too. On Friday evening, we were taken on a cruise on the Danube providing an opportunity to see the panorama offered by Budapest from the river and this was followed by a Gala Dinner on the Óbudai sziget & the Old Buda Island. On Saturday, participants were treated to a tour to the centre of Budapest which included a visit to the Houses of Parliament and the Széchenyi Spa.

Our thanks to IAESTE Hungary and Thomas Faltner the SID Co-ordinator for organising a very successful Seminar.
