What distinguishes the Academic Days from other ESTIEM events is that the whole content is organized with the help of an Academic Mentor, who coordinates the academic content of the event, provides mentorship for the lectures, agenda...

The content of the event consists of theoretical knowledge from lectures and practical application through case studies, company visits, etc. The aim should not be to give a broad overview about a topic, but to provide the participants deep insights and understanding.

What do you need to organize?

  • Food, Transportation and Accommodation for all participants
  • Lectures during the day on the topic (could be given by professors or by students under the supervision of the Academic Mentor).
  • Free time and evening activities
  • A session in the beginning of the event dedicated to the Booklet of Knowledge
  • Debriefing sessions where students revise and reflect what they have learned at the end of each day.

During the organization process you will have the full support of the Academic Days Leader and the Academic Days Team. Furthermore, you will have access to extensive documentation on the event concept.

On the form, in the “additional required document” section, please upload a presentation which includes the following:

  • Your motivation to organize Academic Days
  • Description of the event topic
  • Detailed description of activities
  • Accommodation and logistics
  • First draft budget and estimated participation fee

The Academic Days Masterclasses is an online event composed of multiple sessions, each organized by a different LG.

 

Each LG must prepare a session (around 2 hours) on an academic topic of their choice and this must be given by a professor, or another field expert with certification in the topic that was chosen for the session. The topics can be as different as the LGs want, to appeal to as many different people as possible.

 

During the session, the professor should approach the topic in a transversal and intensive

way in order to condense all the possible knowledge during this period, and if possible, some

practical exercises should be included, to help the participants assimilate the concepts.

 

How to apply?

Please fill the form and submit a document explaining the topic proposed for the session, the name of the professor who will deliver it, the possible dates for the event and the maximum number of participants (if you have a maximum limit).

 

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact me through leader.academicdays@estiem.org

LEAN SIX SIGMA

Lean Six Sigma is a methodology used in many companies to reduce waste and eliminate variation to improve corporate performance. Having a professional Green Belt certificate in Lean Six Sigma can give students a big head start for their careers. The ESTIEM Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Course aims to give ESTIEMers the opportunity to obtain a high-quality Green Belt certificate already during their studies – current options outside of ESTIEM are both expensive and not focused on students.

International Event - the Central Course

The event is usually 7 days long, of which 5 are working days. Participants will need to watch online videos, apply what they learned in examples provided during the training event, show their newly developed skills in a final case study and then get the chance to conduct their own Lean Six Sigma internship.

It is also possible to have an additional day for a company visit if needed. Here you can see the first draft of an Agenda.

 

What we are aiming for

  • Unlike most other projects in ESTIEM, our events always have the same agenda but therefore offer a lot of value to participants and a lot of potential to the LG.
  • What we are looking for in return is the will and motivation to not only host the Central Course and then stop being engaged with the topic, but to go one step further and strive for bringing your own first Local Course to your university and Local Group.
  • In order to do so you’ll also need the interest and dedication from a few members to apply for the event and sign up as instructors afterwards, so those members will be the first generation to deliver your Local Course.
  • This way your LG will even benefit a lot more than from simply having only one single international event.

What do you need to supply?

In order for you to make an easier decision and also to prepare you already for the organizational stuff, you can click here to read our BPD.

 

How can you apply?

If you want to get the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course to your university and challenge the way we teach and learn, please fill the Questionnaire for organizing a LSS Central Course in order to apply properly. A PowerPoint presentation is not required, if you still want to show us fancy pictures of your city, LG or other stuff you can still create a short PowerPoint.

 

Please note that important for our decision are the answers from the form. Information from the PowerPoint won’t be considered and filling the form is mandatory. If you don’t fill the form, your application is not valid for this period.

 

Deadline: Applications for Central LSS courses are ongoing. Complete your applications MAXIMUM 4 months before the course starts. The sooner, the better.

Why should your LG organize this event?
Hosting a Course comes along with many benefits:

  • Provide a unique opportunity on an internationally acknowledged methodology
  • Attract new members
  • Increase the visibility of your Local Group in the campus
  • Possibility to reach out for corporate partners more easily and establish collaborations with professors/the university
  • Boost your members’ CV

The main difference from the Central Course is that Local Courses are set up in your university, by your local instructors for your local members.
In case you possibly wouldn’t receive enough applications for a Local Course, you can negotiate with your neighbouring LGs and go for a Regional/National Course first.

Be X For X Days

General Information

Participants: 10 - 15

Usual duration of the event: 4 - 6 days

Max participation fee: 100€

Leader: Marlene von Steinaecker

 

Be X for X Days (or short: BXD) is an event that gives participants the chance to experience the working life of an IEM-related profession. By close contact with companies, the aim is to show the role of one IEM related profession and open new career paths for ESTIEMers and IEM students. In order to differentiate itself from other events, the focus should be more on practical activities and gaining experience about the real deal (eg. networking sessions, company visits, case studies etc.) than focus on more theory-based ones.

 

 

What your LG needs to organize?

  • Food, accommodation, and transportation throughout the event for all participants
  • Create the topic of the event by choosing one profession that you want to show
  • Look for Partner Companies that are working in your chosen profession and are willing to hold a session about your topic

Why should your LG organize this event?

Career related events do not only attract many participants but can also help your Local Group in a lot of ways. While some companies are even willing to pay to hold a session like this, your LG can benefit a lot from company contacts for the future. Also, it is a good way to get newer members from your LG involved, since they can take over easier tasks like reaching out to companies or helping to define a topic for your event.

The BXD team will provide support during every step of the way. We will help you decide on a topic and provide CR support if you struggle with that. We will also try to give you the best advice, so that your event quality is high and the participants can have an amazing experience. We will schedule a zoom call whenever you feel like you need our support.

If you have any questions or doubts, please feel free to reach out to the BXD team (leader.bxd@estiem.org), we will answer all questions you have!

Also, the event should include fun ways to learn for the participants (such as Survival Day at the end of the event, where the participants have to survive the day only speaking that language)
  • Classroom for the lectures
  • Filling the rest of the day with relaxed language learning experiences and activities, such as interactive city tours, fun traditional games, sports activities…
  • Having lots of fun cherishing the ESTIEM Spirit!

Summer Academy

Summer Academy is a service within the Personal Development Department that provides a chance to go on a retreat to discover one’s inner motivations and opportunities for growth under the guidance of an Academic leader. Summer Academy is known for being ESTIEM’s treasure.

Summer Academy Event Open Call will publish soon!

Participants: 8 – 16
Time: October –  November 22′

Price:  Max 120€ 
Leader: Cansu Gür

The context of the Seasonal Academies and the Service name

 

Summer Academy is the name of a service in the personal development department of ESTIEM, but it is also the name of the original event that used to happen since 2001 on summertime (hence the name Summer Academy).Thus it was kept as the service name, as it holds quite a legacy! Summer Academy is known for being ESTIEM’s treasure.

 

Now in the spirit of aiming high we kept the original concept of the event but  wanted to create more “seasonal academies” (e.i event happens in winter = Winter Academy, happens in Autumn= Autumn Academy, happens in spring =Spring Academy ) in order to:

- Give LGs more opportunities to organise the event during the year if it is more convenient for them.

- Give ESTIEMers more opportunities to experience such a life-changing event at least once during their ESTIEM journey.

 

The event concept:

We aim to create a space away from the usual lives of participants and regardless of which season of the year it, they shall have a “summer vacation” from their “everyday obligations” to allow themselves to embarque on a journey of self-discovery to gain more self-awareness and self-growth while developing their leadership skills and creating long-lasting friendships and strong bonds with their fellow ESTIEMers on a deeper level.

During the event, participants are all hosted in the same house in a remote area, under the guidance of what we call an Academic Leader that challenges the participants’ mindsets and helps them to widen their perspectives to learn more about themselves. In other words the Academic leader is a professional in charge of the sessions’ content (facilitating the open discussions, workshops, training and reflection sessions..etc) The Academic leader can be for example a personal development coach, social/organisational psychologist,Impact leader or an inspirational ESTIEM Alumni..etc,) 

 

 

 

What do you need to organise?

  • It is crucial to be accommodated together in a remote location where participants can enjoy calm and a peaceful atmosphere (house in a remote location, in the outskirts of the city would be the perfect option)
  • It is also preferable to have a suitable working room for sessions and a kitchen for self-catering where participants could  cook for themselves.
  • Local organisers will be responsible for acquiring accommodation, food ingredients for the participants and transportation from the meeting point to the House.
  • The Budget should contain the Professor's flight ticket
  • Before the event local organisers will be communicating with participants providing them with necessary information.

Why should your LG apply?

  • Easy to organise – all the content of the event will be prepared by  the Academic Leader.
  • “No organisers” – the main organisers from your LG are counted as participants, along with other international participants .Everyone is cooking together, cleaning together and participating in each session/ activity.
  • Support from the Summer Academy Team throughout the WHOLE process of the event before,during and after the event itself.

 

How to apply?

Application should cover the following topics:

  • Dates when your LG can organise the event
    • Prediction of the budget:
      • Income: participation fee + sponsors 
      • Expenses: accommodation, food, transportation, activities, and Academic Leader’s tickets
    • Proposal for accommodation and location (provide pictures of the house if possible)
    • Motivation

 

Please submit the application through the Event Organisation Google form

Deadline : 30 November 2022! 

 

If you have any questions or hesitations, please, text  the leader Cansu GÜR +905380527984 or email her via leader.sac@estiem.org . Also we highly recommend you to approach us before sending the application, so that the Summer Academy Team can help you choose the best location and accommodation and give suggestions about the budget and answer any of your questions.
