Students of today take responsibility for other people tomorrow. Taking responsibility requires empathy and understanding. In today’s Europe, economic boundaries between people disappear, yet cultural differences should not appear. Empathy and understanding require open communication between different people. The ESTIEM Council Meeting contributes to this and thereby helps to create a bright future for Europe.

Right from the early years of the business, Robert Bosch realized the importance of operating internationally and having an international workforce. Nowadays, with more than 227 locations in more than 50 countries, Bosch can call itself a leading employer on the world stage. However there is still challenging business waiting to be discovered by enthusiastic and mobile young graduates all over the world.

ESTIEM has underscored its ability to organize pan-European projects by going beyond cultural differences and focusing on teamwork. It is committed to professionalism, creativity, and internationalism. The experience and skills it has acquired contribute to the future success of managers across Europe, who are increasingly obliged to operate globally without losing sight of regional particularities. The events themselves are excellent channels for meeting well qualified, highly motivated and team-oriented Industrial Engineering and Management students.
