Organizational Structure

ESTIEM is a student-run organization that operates through its Local Associations (Local Groups), which are affiliated with universities offering Industrial Engineering and Management studies. Our primary goal is to connect our students, who are associated with our Local Groups, with the wider IEM community across Europe. To achieve this, various entities play a vital role in ensuring the smooth functioning of our organization and collaborate to make this possible.
