About us

What is BEST?

BEST (Board of European Students of Technology) is a constantly growing non-profit and non-political organisation. Since 1989, we provide communication, cooperation, and exchange opportunities for students all over Europe.

84 Local BEST Groups (LBGs) in 30 countries form a strong, youthful and innovative network.

We help technology students become more internationally minded, develop cultural understanding, and gain the ability to work globally. Through academic and non-academic events and our career centre, we broaden students’ horizons and support their future careers.

What about BEST Athens?

The Local BEST Group of Athens was founded at the National Technical University of Athens in 1997.

BEST Athens is open to all NTUA students and offers opportunities to join events across Europe such as academic courses and engineering competitions.

Today, BEST Athens includes 50 active members and has organised over 100 successful events with participants from Greece and abroad.
