Goals of the year Every year a reflection on the past and a glimpse to the future is made by the International Board to set the direction of BEST for the upcoming year. The path of BEST might take different turns, but in order to adapt to the ever-changing environment, BEST grows every year by being open towards changes to stay a fresh and dynamic organisation. Have a look on the steps BEST made this year.

External Services When joining BEST, you discover that the main projects of BEST are those in favour of students of technology to experience the multi-cultural environment and ability to grow and learn in new ways. What BEST does is to provide services to students. Due to the changing environment our services need to adapt to the needs of their consumers. In other words students of technology. This means that not only BEST as a whole has to grow but also our services we provide need to develop at the same rate in order to help students grow even more.

Closer cooperation with professors during BEST Courses This year a fruitful project has started to enhance the input “of from” academics in our main core activity : BEST Courses. Not only students of technology but also professors have now access to our application system in order to receive feedback on their lectures, as well as to give their impression on our activities. This enables us to get another point of view and therefore helps us determining if our services are developing in the right direction. Recognition of BEST Courses BEST strives for quality. By getting the quality of BEST Courses recognised officially, we can make them even more visible. The diversity of the European educational systems makes this a challenge, but recent higher educational developments are creating possible paths to take. A stronger promotion towards students about the possibility to issue credits, as well as providing more suitable official documents were one of the many improvements achieved this year.
