Why was IAESTE set up?
In the aftermath of World War II, a new spirit pervaded the world: a desire for international understanding and cooperation. It was this spirit that brought forth both the United Nations (UN) and IAESTE, organization dedicated to promoting these objectives. Today we believe that students with international experience are the key to tackling today’s global challenges.

1948: IAESTE was founded

Ten European countries met in January 1948 at the initiative of the Imperial College Vacation Work Committee, London led by Mr James Newby and hoped to change the lives of the young people through an international exchange programme.

2020: Remote internships connect students and employers

When the whole world stopped, we kept connecting students and employers worldwide via the IAESTE Remote Internships programme. Hundreds of students enhanced their remote working skills and gained professional work experience in an international environment. Today, the IAESTE mission to promote international understanding is as needed as when IAESTE was established.
