What is the
Event Open Call?

ESTIEM Events are a portfolio of Activities which focuses on 5 different fields for personal and professional development of  ESTIEMers. It is divided into Academic Development Department, Career Development Department, Intercultural Development Department, Personal Development Department which provides Service events and there are also Central ESTIEM events.

The Event Open Call is the beginning of the process for organizing an event. It consists of the description of the event, what is needed to organize it, how to apply, timespan, price range, and participant range.

There are many reasons why you should organize an ESTIEM event. Firstly, you will be working with a team with your Local Group members and become more friendly with them. During the organization of the event you will develop your project management skills and also you can create your own impact by developing ideas and creating new concepts. It’s a great chance to develop yourself and improve a variety of skills. 

Moreover, it is a unique opportunity to meet with other people from different countries coming from all over Europe and show them your own country’s culture. And it is amazing and fun to be in the organizers team of an International Event.

Academic Days

adays

The goal of Academic Days is to share ESTIEM universities’ knowledge with the network. It supports the personal and professional development of students across Europe willing to complete their curriculum. In order to achieve this, each Academic Days event provides participants deep insights into a specific topic in which the organizing Local Group’s university has high expertise.

Academic Days Event Open Call will publish soon!

Participants: 10 – 100 (Masterclasses) / 15 – 25 (offline event)
Time: April – June 22′

Price: 0€ (Masterclasses) / Max 100€ (offline event)
Leader: Serhat Gürgenyatagi

Academic Days is an event of 5-7 days focusing on an IEM topic, which the hosting Local Group’s university excels at. The name of the individual event could then be, for example, Academic Days: Finance or Academic Days Strategic Marketing.

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 

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 of 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 at the beginning of the event dedicated to the Booklet of Knowledge

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 that includes the following:

  • Your motivation to organize Academic Days
  • Description of the event topic
  • First draft agenda
  • A detailed description of activities
  • Accommodation and logistics
  • Proposed dates of the event and the maximum number of participants
  • The first draft budget and estimated participation fee




Apply now!


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 eliminate waste and reduce variation, to improve corporate performance. Having a professional Green Belt certificate in Lean Six Sigma can give students a big head start in their careers. The ESTIEM Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Course aims to provide ESTIEMers an 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.

Lean Six Sigma Event Open Call will publish soon!

Participants:  15 or 20 ESTIEMers & 3-5 Instructors
Time: May – June 22′ 

Price: Max 110€
Leader: Juliana Fernandes & Agnieszka Remi

After many successful editions of the event, we are again offering the possibility of hosting our course to LGs with the ambition and willingness to further work with LSS in the future.

 

What is the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Central Course?

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 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.

 

Regional Courses and Local Courses

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.

If your LG is permanently struggling with finding members or establishing yourself at university, you can also invite external IEM students to boost your popularity and visibility. 

In case you possibly wouldn’t receive enough applications for a Local Course, you can negotiate with your neighboring LGs and go for a Regional Course first.

As long as you take the knowledge one step closer to your own LG or even other LGs you help us grow and you help ESTIEMers, as well as yourself, to develop.

We are aware that at this point you might not be really into the scope of given possibilities. Contact us for clarification and we can already talk about the best potential follow-up event for your LG after having an international event. If you need more specific information about Local Courses, please contact Juliana.Fernandes@estiem.org.

 

Why should you go for it?

Hosting your own Local Course afterwards comes along with many benefits:

  • Unique opportunity on an internationally acknowledged methodology
  • Attractive for members with rare time for international travelling
  • Being an exclusive association by also offering the Local Course to external IEM students
  • Increases the visibility of your Local Group on the campus
  • Reach out easily for corporate partners and establish a collaboration with professors/the university
  • Implement the course in the curriculum if possible

 

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.

 

If you have any questions, please contact mathias.beilmann@estiem.org 

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

Summer Academy

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.

Participants: 8 – 16
Time: September 22′

Price: Max 120€
Leader: Soumaya Afilal

What does the Event concretely look like ?

During the event, participants are all hosted in the same house in a remote area,for a period of 1-2 weeks, 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, a social/organisational psychologist, an Impact leader or an inspirational ESTIEM Alumni..etc,) 

What do you need to organize?

  • It is crucial to be accommodated together in a remote location where participants can enjoy calm and 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 organizers 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 organizers will be communicating with participants providing them with necessary information.

Why should your LG apply?

  • Easy to organize – all the content of the event will be prepared by  the Academic Leader.
  • “No organizers” – the main organizers 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 following topics:

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

Please submit the application through the Event Organization form below until 30th of May! 

If you have any questions or hesitations, please, text  the leader Soumaya AFILAL +32494251429 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.
