Dear ESTIEMers,
The next Council Meeting is already approaching! The LXXII Council Meeting of ESTIEM will take place in Istanbul, Turkey, from the 20th until the 26th of April 2026.
The Council Meeting is the statutory meeting of ESTIEM. It takes place twice a year and it brings together around 250 Industrial Engineering and Management students from 26 European countries. It is composed of two parts, the General Assembly, where everyone is updated on what is going on in ESTIEM and decisions are made through voting, as well as the Working Groups, Training Sessions and Company Workshops, where smaller groups either work to develop ESTIEM, or improve their skills. The open calls start now!
Open Positions
A Council Meeting is the place where we gather to invest time in our organisation, to meet new and old friends and celebrate the ESTIEM Spirit. By participating as a delegate, you may represent your Local Group in the Council Meeting and have a secure spot for the event. For more information, please contact your Local Responsible. Alternatively, you can also participate by applying to the following positions:
- Chairperson (1 spot),
- Secretary (2 spots),
- Voting Committee (2 spots),
- Sessions Coordinator (1 spot),
- Photographer (4 spots),
- Videographer (2 spots),
- Livestream Responsible (2 spot),
- Content Creator (2 spots),

You can find all the brief descriptions about each position in the attachment. Please send your application until the 8th of February 2025 at 23:59 CEST. To apply for any of the aforementioned positions, follow this link and select what you are applying for.
ESTIEM forms can only be accessed if you log in to your ESTIEM account before opening the form!
Please keep in mind that due to limited availability, it is possible that you may not be selected for the role you are applying for. ESTIEMers can apply for as many positions as they’d like to, but it does not increase nor does it decrease their chances for getting accepted to the Council Meeting. Please note that there will not be any additional registration opportunities for extra places or other positions at a later time.
Local Group Istanbul-Bogazici will soon provide more information regarding crashers, but as a reminder, crashers are not participants of the Council Meeting and are therefore responsible for their accommodation and food. They will be provided in a limited amount.
Working Groups
ESTIEMers have once again the opportunity to apply to hold a Working Group, but only a limited number will be selected. For the selection you will need to present concrete goals and a plan to follow up the outcomes after the Council Meeting. Maximum 2 ESTIEMers can apply to hold a Working Group as the Co-leaders. If the Working Group is accepted, the Leaders that applied to hold it will have a secured spot for the Council Meeting. The applications will be held in a separate form that can be found below.
