About

A trip down the memory lane:

More than 30 great years of impact and international student involvement across Europe

In 1989, a group of IEM students in Darmstadt sparked the idea for an international event during a casual conversation. Following a successful international seminar, the groundwork for ESTIEM was laid, and in November 1990, the organization was officially established in Berlin.

If you are curious about the ESTIEM history, below you can find the ESTIEM Book - a document containing the full story of how our organisation came to be, with testimonials from founders, fun facts and more!

Our Values make us

Embracing Diversity

Multiculturalism is ESTIEM’s strength, enabling us to face changes and challenges with diverse insights. Respect is not a goal but the foundation of our network.

We grow together by learning from mistakes and embracing a learning process, gaining practical experience and essential skills through accessible opportunities.
