Our Story
Developing students since 1995. Because we can.
Board of European Students of Technologies (BEST) is an international organisation founded in 1989 with the aim to help students develop abilities and continuous partnerships in a flexible and dynamic environment.
As BEST Bucharest, we started our journey in 1994 and became a full member of the BEST family in 1997 during the Belgium General Assembly.
Our main goal is to develop students through unconventional means, helping them reach their full potential through the opportunities offered by our events. We strongly believe in the value of complementary education among students, thus we focus on sharpening both soft skills and technical abilities, as well as working in a multicultural environment.
So far, we can proudly say that we have organised:

and our mission of
Developing students
We have 5 core values, altogether representing the foundation of our motivation:
Flexibility
We seek the ability to make changes and deal with changing conditions. We are open to everything new. We value and raise the ability of being mobile and to quickly respond to changes in the environment or any other obstacles that we face.
Improvement
We strive to continuously improve the standards in everything we do. We use all our creativity to enhance the way we work. This is to guarantee the constant development of our actions.
Fun
We enjoy everything we do. We value the positive emotions of the people involved in our actions. We strive to make our activities enjoyable for everybody who is connected to them. We act with passion and strive to share this passion with the people around us.
Friendship
We build good relationships in which people help, support and care for one another. We value good personal relations and teamwork. We focus on each person involved in our activities and in this way we create synergy.
Open-mindedness
We welcome new ideas, perspectives, and possibilities, valuing diversity and respecting everyone’s voice. By fostering open, judgment-free expression, we discover potential and adapt to change. However, open-mindedness doesn’t mean overstepping personal boundaries.
