Board of European Students of Technology (BEST) is a non-profit and non-political organization for students, by students. BEST was founded in 1989 to provide communication, co-operation and exchange possibilities for students of technology all over Europe. Local BEST Group (LBG) Helsinki was one of the first 18 BEST groups. Since then BEST has grown rapidly and today there are LBGs in 83 universities in 30 European countries.

Most visible project in BEST are academic and leisure courses. These courses, lasting 1 to 2 weeks, are organized across Europe during the whole year. On these courses participants from different countries have the opportunity to meet and learn from one another. While these courses are usually known for their very active leisure program, the participants may also get credits from the courses in their local universities. The fee for the academical courses is as maximum 45 euros and it includes food, accommodation, teaching and free time program. The participant only need to pay the trip to the destination.

We want you to join us to experience the BEST spirit and to see the Europe in a whole different way. You will enjoy our company for sure if you like to get to know new people, travel, sauna, good food and bouncy animals. Or just even one of the mentioned.

We have been organizing yearly Summer Courses, annual sitsit, Pre-Christmas Parties, Cultural Exchanges (2004 Valladolid, 2007 Stockholm/Uppsala/Tampere, 2008 Eindhoven, 2012 Tampere!). Helsinki hosted the spring 2010 edition of Nordic Regional Meeting training event. Our upcoming events are Spring Course 2012, Pre-Christmas Party, participation at the Nordic Regional Meetings…
