We see thisas an area of great potential for the futureand hope that more Employers will becomeinvolved in this aspect of the Association. Ourpublic website www.iaeste.org receives onaverage 950 new visitors per day so we aregreatly encouraged by this interest in ourAssociation. Our thanks go to the membersof our Internet and FoIN teams for theirexcellent work throughout the year.In conclusion, sincere thanks go to all thecontributors of the <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Review</strong> 2006and special thanks to our Sponsors, Infi neonTechnologies AG for their continued supportand to the Danish Technical University forhosting our servers. Finally, congratulationsto all the Members and Co-operatingInstitutions which administered theprogramme so ably to ensure the exchangeof students for technical experiencethroughout the world.1


International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical ExperienceOur Organisation<strong>IAESTE</strong> ANNUAL REVIEW 2006The International Association for theExchange of Students for TechnicalExperience (<strong>IAESTE</strong> A.s.b.l) is an Associationof National Committees representingacademic, industrial and student interests.Each National Committee is responsible forthe administration of the exchange in its owncountry.The Association was founded in January1948 at Imperial College, London, on theinitiative of the Imperial College VacationWork Committee. National organisations often European countries represented at thismeeting became Members and Mr. JamesNewby was elected General Secretary. Thegeographical coverage was soon to spreadto most of Europe and beyond, as newcountries were admitted to Membership.The Association became a registered bodyaccording to Luxembourg law at its GeneralConference 2005 in Cartagena de Indias,Colombia. It is a non-political, independent,non-governmental organisation, inoperational relationship with the UnitedNations Educational, Scientifi c and CulturalOrganisation (UNESCO) and maintainsconsultative relationships with the UNEconomic and Social Council (ECOSOC),the United Nations Industrial DevelopmentOrganisation (UNIDO) and the InternationalLabour Offi ce (ILO).<strong>IAESTE</strong> is also in contact with the UnitedNations Economic Council for Africa (ECA),the Food and Agriculture Organisation(FAO), the Organisation of American States(OAS) and the European Union (EU), as wellas with other educational non-governmentalorganisations.National Secretariats and Committees makeup the Membership of the Association. Eachyear the <strong>Annual</strong> Conference brings togetherthe representatives of these bodies to decideissues of general policy and with the <strong>IAESTE</strong>Co-operating Institutions to carry out theexchange of offers for training. Prior to theConference, each Member and Co-operatingInstitution collects offers from employerswilling to receive students from abroad fora temporary training and work experienceperiod relevant to the students’ areas ofstudy, as a complement to their university orThe Mission and Aims of <strong>IAESTE</strong>college education. The offering Companiesor Institutions are expected to pay studentsa wage suffi cient to cover their cost of livingduring the actual training period.The offers of training are exchanged withother Members and Co-operating Institutionsmainly on a reciprocal basis. Through theiraffi liated universities and colleges, Membersand Co-operating Institutions select qualifi edstudents to meet employers’ requirementsas outlined on the training offer. Detailsof the selected candidates are sent to theCompanies for approval.Participation in the <strong>IAESTE</strong> exchange is opento bona fide students attending courses atUniversities, Institutes of Technology andsimilar Institutions of Higher Education.For further information about <strong>IAESTE</strong> pleasevisit our website www.iaeste.org.MISSIONTo operate a high quality practical training exchange programme between Members inorder to enhance technical and professional development and to promote internationalunderstanding and goodwill amongst students, academic institutions, employers and thewider community.<strong>IAESTE</strong> operates irrespective of race, colour, sex or creed.AIMSTo provide students in higher education with technical experience relevant to theirstudies.To offer employers well qualifi ed and motivated trainees.To be a source of cultural enrichment for trainees and their host communities.2

International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical ExperienceReport of the General SecretaryThis report is a summary of the exchangeactivities between <strong>IAESTE</strong> Members andCo-operating Institutions during 2005. Thedetails of these exchanges are presented inthe 2005 <strong>IAESTE</strong> Activity Report publishedin November 2005. The exchange took placebetween 79 Members and Co-operatingInstitutions from 78 countries and 17 non-Member countries.Exchange Development in 2005The total number of trainees exchangedin 2005 was 4838, an increase of just over1.3% from 2004 and hopefully this trendwill continue during the current year. Half ofthe Members and Co-operating Institutionsmanaged to increase their number oftraineeships to incoming students and thiswas very encouraging. Several countriesmade a significant increase in the numberof placements offered to incoming students,notably, Brazil, Greece, Poland, Spain andSerbia and Montenegro.<strong>IAESTE</strong> ANNUAL REVIEW 2006The 2005 <strong>IAESTE</strong> Activity Report containsthe detail on the bilateral exchanges, studyfi elds of trainees sent and received by eachMember and Co-operating Institution, thenumber of participating Employers andInstitutions, training periods, age, nationalityand gender of the trainees and other usefulcomparative information. It includes detail onthe exchange with non-Member countries.The report also contains a summary of theadministrative procedures, reports fromMembers and Co-operating Institutionson activity as well as the names of the staffhandling the exchange and the addresses ofthe National Secretariats.

Universities or Organisations committedto the Aims of the Association can apply forCo-operating Institution status and each yearthe Board reviews their progress at theirsummer meeting. Co-operating Institutionswhich are no longer conducting an exchangedo not have their status renewed. NewCo-operating Institutions take 3-5 yearsto become established and the benefits ofthis expansion, reflected in the exchange,becomes clear after this period. They arethen able to apply for Associate Membershipand after a minimum of another 3 years canapply to be Full Members with voting rights.Since 2005, 5 new Co-operating Institutionshave been welcomed into the Association.Manipal Institute of Technology, India, KoreaFoundation for International Cooperation ofScience and Technology (KICOS), Republicof Korea, Allies International InternshipPrograms Inc, Philippines, The Instituteof Engineering Education Taiwan and ThaiNguyen University, Vietnam. 86 Membersand Co-operating Institutions in 84 countriesconstituted the Membership of <strong>IAESTE</strong> inJanuary 2006.<strong>IAESTE</strong> ANNUAL REVIEW 200643.8%Figure 53.8%5.0%10.0%25.0%12.5%shows that 25% of <strong>IAESTE</strong> Members and Co-operating Institutionsexchanged with more than 11 countries in 2005.7 Members sent students to 41 or more countries.Sent to 1-10 membersSent to 11-20 membersSent to 21-30 membersSent to 31-40 membersSent to 41-50 membersSent to more than 50The Association continues to grow outsideEurope with increased interest fromcountries in Central America, Asia and Africaand we would be very keen to expand ourMembership in these areas.Reciprocity of the ExchangeThe <strong>IAESTE</strong> exchange programme is basedon a bilateral balanced exchange betweenMembers. Most Member countries attemptto maintain a balance between outgoingand incoming students but an exact bilateralbalance is rarely possible within any givenyear. Only long-term balance is sought. Thisflexibility is needed to support the properallocation of places and the selection of theappropriate students.6


I A E S T E — A N N U A L R E V I E W 2 0 0 6In 2005, 25 Members and Co-operatingInstitutions received more students thanthey sent abroad and this benefi ted the rest.In total, 554 work experience places wereinvolved or 11.5% of the total exchange.It is traditional within <strong>IAESTE</strong> for Memberswith a higher Gross National Income percapita (GNI) to receive more traineesthan they send. Strict reciprocity is notimplemented with new Members in theearly years which allow those in developingcountries and those from smaller countries togather support within their country in orderto develop the exchange. Countries with aGNI per capita >12,000 US$ provided 57%of these places in 2005, a traumatic declinefrom 2004.20052004200320022001Figure 6: Gender Balance61.4% 38.6%60.6% 39.4%63.9% 36.1%64.0% 36.0%62.3% 37.7%Male (%) Female (%)Figure 7a: Training Specialities (%) based on trainees receivedProfile of the student traineeGender balance and Age: Age and genderbalance of trainees varies little from year toyear but differs appreciably from country tocountry.Participation by men and women studentscompared with previous years (%) is shownin Figure 6The percentage for individual Members orCo-operating Institutions varies from 0%to 71%.

In allcases it is the responsibility of the receivingNational office making the (X) categoryoffers to ensure that the working conditionsare acceptable, benefi cial to the student andin line with the standards expected of all<strong>IAESTE</strong> offers.In 2005 a total of 7196 training places werereported to be available as follows: Researchand Development (D) 3118, 43.3%,Professional (P) 3574, 49.7%, WorkingEnvironment (W) 230, 3.2 % and Nonspecific(X) 274, 3.8%.

Despite the efforts made todate to minimise losses the number of trainingplaces lost or unused remains unacceptablyhigh. Based on the figures reported, thenumber of lost and unused training offers in2005 amounted to 2205, 31.2% of the offersreceived. Employer withdrawals accountedfor 14.8% and student withdrawals were6.7%.In 2005 individual figures show that 16Members and Co-operating Institutionsmanaged to maintain their total losses below20% which is similar to 2004.<strong>IAESTE</strong> Members and Co-operatingInstitutions must continue to make everyeffort to minimise these losses, particularlythe offers that remain unused. Improvementshere would result in the release of additionalavailable places. This should encourage allcountries to seek improvements to theirexisting practices and to examine theircommunication arrangements. Accurateand timely communications would helpreduce student and employer withdrawalsand accurate matching of the studentskills with those required by the employerwould further contribute to minimising thewithdrawal of offers by employers.Places usedPlaces availableNon SpecificREPORT OF GENERAL SECRETARY9

International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience21st Seminar on<strong>IAESTE</strong> DevelopmentGLASGOW, SCOTLAND, 6-9 APRIL 2006SID serves as a means to bring together<strong>IAESTE</strong> Members and Co-operatingInstitutions to discuss issues of best practice,administration, organisational advancementand development of the organisation.Unlike the <strong>Annual</strong> Conference, whichfocuses on the exchange of placements, SIDbrings delegates together to focus on thedevelopment and improvement of <strong>IAESTE</strong>as an international organisation. Participantsform Work groups and work on specifictasks requested by the General Conferencesessions from the previous January. Theresulting work from the Work groups arerefi ned over the year into recommendationsthat go back to the <strong>IAESTE</strong> Board and thento the General Conference for offi cial votingand implementation.The Seminar began on the Thursday eveningwith a welcome reception which took placeat the Kelvin Conference Centre where wewere served with traditional Scottish fare.Participants were welcomed by ChristinaVakomies, National Secretary <strong>IAESTE</strong> UKwho then introduced the SID Co-ordinatorThomas Faltner, <strong>IAESTE</strong> Austria.of the work which had been achieved sincethe last SID and the work to be tackledduring 2006. Work groups then presentedtheir results at a Group Fair held on theSaturday morning. This consisted of a Postersession which allowed Work Groups to posttheir results and gather feedback from thoseparticipants from other Work Groups. Allgroups then presented their findings andresults at the closing Plenary session wherethe SID Co-ordinator for 2007 and the venuefor SID 2008 were nominated.However, SID is not only about work. Inthe short time available, participants spentsome time learning about the culture of theirhost country and got to see some sights too.On the Friday evening, the British Councilhosted a Gala Dinner on The Tall Ship,Glenlee, moored on the River Clyde and thenext day participants were treated to sometours to the centre of Glasgow as well as tothe Glengoyne Whisky Distillery. Delegatesalso had the opportunity to share their ownculture at the National Evening. This eveningprovided everyone with the chance to sharefood and drink from their own country alongwith cultural dress and dances. This year wewere able to learn some traditional dancesfrom a Scottish ceilidh band.The 21st SID was an overwhelming success.Participants left with a sense of satisfactionfrom a job well-done and a betterunderstanding of <strong>IAESTE</strong> UK and its culture.A special thank you to <strong>IAESTE</strong> UK for theirhard work in organising this very importantevent in the <strong>IAESTE</strong> calendar.<strong>IAESTE</strong> ANNUAL REVIEW 2006This year, 67 delegates attended from 30countries worldwide including 22 NationalSecretaries.

International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical ExperienceAnniversary Congratulations<strong>IAESTE</strong> ANNUAL REVIEW 2006AFTER 50 YEARS:NEW BEGINNINGS FOR<strong>IAESTE</strong> SOUTH AFRICAIn 1956 South Africa joined a network ofdedicated people, who cared about thefuture, not only of their own country,but of the world. This was the <strong>IAESTE</strong>network. Since then <strong>IAESTE</strong> South Africaactively participated in the exchangewith other Member countries under thehosting organisation, the National ResearchFoundation. Since our inception <strong>IAESTE</strong>South Africa has sent 1400 students abroadand received 2239 trainees in our country.Forty five years after South Africa wasaccepted as a Member of <strong>IAESTE</strong>, wehad the opportunity to host the <strong>IAESTE</strong>University of Pretoria, South Africa<strong>Annual</strong> Conference in Durban in January2001. According to attending delegates, itwas a great success. In 2003 the NationalResearch Foundation handed over <strong>IAESTE</strong>South Africa to the University of Pretoriaand <strong>IAESTE</strong> South Africa went through acomplete transition. From being run byfull time paid staff at the National ResearchFoundation it became a volunteer studentrun organisation. This proved to be a toughtime for <strong>IAESTE</strong> South Africa but thanks tothe help and guidance of other Memberswe are now beginning to find our feet inthe workings of the new A.s.b.l Association.<strong>IAESTE</strong> South Africa is in the process ofrebuilding its reputation.On a personal note, as thenew National Secretaryof <strong>IAESTE</strong> South Africa,I would like to thank allMember countries whooffered their help andknowledge at the General Conference 2006and to those who already helped me somuch when I needed information.PJ van GinkelNational Secretary,<strong>IAESTE</strong> South Africa14

The unfortunateevents that took place between 1975 and1990 resulted in “Saint Joseph University”and “The Lebanese Chamber of Commerceand Industry” ending their role as supportingInstitutions. This resulted in the FEA atthe AUB becoming the only supportingInstitution for <strong>IAESTE</strong> Lebanon, which is thesituation today.Dr Fadl Moukaled, National Secretary <strong>IAESTE</strong> Lebanonwith former National Secretary Dr Albert Kuran and stafffrom the Careers Centre FEADuring these years <strong>IAESTE</strong> Lebanon managedto send 1027 students abroad and received328 students, exchanging on average with9 countries in recent years. In spite of pastdiffi culties we are nevertheless proud to be aMember of the <strong>IAESTE</strong> family.On behalf of the former National Secretaries,I would like to express my sincere gratitudeto all <strong>IAESTE</strong> Members for the support theyprovided us with over the past 40 years.I am delighted to be involved with <strong>IAESTE</strong>and happy to be able to meet with the warm<strong>IAESTE</strong> family.I am confident that <strong>IAESTE</strong> Lebanon willcontinue serving the <strong>IAESTE</strong> Aims.ANNIVERSARIES15


International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical ExperienceTEN YEARS OF <strong>IAESTE</strong>IN AUSTRALIAAustralia and we were not overwhelmedwith enthusiasm. Then wondering what onThere have been low times too, as we allexperience in such a position, so why did we<strong>IAESTE</strong> ANNUAL REVIEW 2006It is now almost eleven years since we werevisiting friends in Canada who just happenedto be the National Secretary of <strong>IAESTE</strong>Canada and his wife, and first discussedtaking on the role of establishing <strong>IAESTE</strong>in Australia. It is just over ten years sinceAustralia then became a Member of <strong>IAESTE</strong>in January 1996. It is hard to believe that awhole decade has passed since that week inCopenhagen.What has a decade of <strong>IAESTE</strong> in our countrymeant? In terms of the obvious benefit toindividual students it has meant that 640Australian students from universities in all ourStates and Territories have worked overseas(this includes 422 reserved offer students)and 275 students from 39 countries haveworked here for 44 different companiesand research organisations in all States andTerritories. We have a National Committeewith representatives from universities andindustry from around the country and wehave a home. By the end of 1997 we hadboth retired as academics but our university,Swinburne, has continued to house us asa hosted organisation. So we think we arenow established here and poised to moveforward.But what are our outstanding memories?Well to start with, convincing ouruniversity that applying for Membership asa Co-operating Institution was a good idea- no easy task, as we were to discover thatalmost nobody had heard about <strong>IAESTE</strong> inearth we had let ourselves in for as we reada copy of an Administrative Guide which wehad been sent to help us prepare for ourfi rst General Conference. Nevertheless weset off for this with lots of enthusiasm, fourplacements and no students.We returned home exhilarated by theConference and the people we had metthere and discovered our next problem. Wehad to fi nd students to send to the countrieswhich had given us placements and what ismore we had to fi nd them by March 31. Thiswas not easy given that our students werestill on their long summer vacation and werenot going to return to university until early tomid-March. Again people were very patientwith us and we eventually sent six Australianstudents away that year.We had also witnessed the night of fun andcamaraderie that is the National Party in ourfi rst year and came prepared the next year.After much wracking of our brains to fi nd anAustralian costume and food, we had comewith hats worn by our “swaggies” decoratedwith hanging corks to keep the fl ies off theirfaces in our hot summer and kangaroosalami as an Australian food. We have keptthis theme since and it culminated this yearwhen we brought a blow up plastic kangaroowhich was much more popular than we hadexpected. It also had more stamina than wehad expected and fi nished a night of dancingin better shape than many of the rest of uswe suspect!persevere? We did so because of the highs.Having students arrive at the airport aftertwenty four hours of travelling to reach us,and being told that no, they did not wantto rest because they were just so excitedat being here, is unexpectedly rewarding.Reading the letters and e mails from studentstelling us what a difference <strong>IAESTE</strong> has madeto their lives is wonderful. Watching theface light up of an Australian student, whocame from Vietnam originally, while he wastelling us how thrilled he was with his workexperience and living in a dorm with studentsfrom so many other countries is wonderful.And hearing that when it was his turn to cooka typical meal from his home country, he didnot cook a stir-fry, but rather an Aussie BBQis wonderful.And the biggest high for us at a personal levelis having met so many committed, caringand fun people over the last eleven <strong>Annual</strong>Conferences. That has been wonderful. Wehave had reinforced the idea that puttingpeople together from all around the worldto work together to help others can be aco-operative, harmonious and beneficialexperience done with a lot of goodwill andgood humour. That has been wonderful andwe thank you all for it.Geoff and Jacki HillPresident and National Secretary<strong>IAESTE</strong> Australia16

Besides thatwe are promoting <strong>IAESTE</strong> through otherBulgarian organisations which deal withinternational exchange programmes.We are currently negotiating with branchesof the Technical University in Sofi a, as well aswith quite a lot of Bulgarian companies whichwe hope will receive students in 2007.Niya Koeva and Yordan Pashovfrom UNI GROUP Bulgaria2006 is our first year of exchange withcountries such as Austria, Germany, Spain,Denmark, Portugal, UK, France, Belgium,Sweden, Finland and Switzerland.Participating in the <strong>Annual</strong> Conferencein Malta has helped us a lot in getting toknow the structure of <strong>IAESTE</strong>. It gave usthe opportunity to meet in person therepresentatives of the other countriesand to learn from their experiences. Wehave received a lot of helpful advice fromMembers who are experienced in theexchange process.We would like to take this opportunityto thank everyone who has offered theirconstant support and patience in answeringall of our questions.17


International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical ExperienceCHINESE TAIPEIThe Institute of Engineering EducationTaiwan (IEET) was admitted as a newCo-operating Institution in <strong>IAESTE</strong> in 2005,which was a very exciting time in the historyof our organisation. IEET is the recognisedaccreditor of college and universityprogrammes in engineering in Taiwan. Thepurpose of accreditation is to ensure thequality of the education students receive.IEET was attracted to two core elementsof <strong>IAESTE</strong>, the practical experience andthe internationalisation of educationalexperience. These are the same principalswe promote through our accreditation workand that is why we joined the <strong>IAESTE</strong> family.Through the <strong>IAESTE</strong> activities, we hope toexpand the knowledge horizon and worldview of our students in Taiwan and we alsohope that students from the world wouldcome here and see what we can offer.Our fi rst <strong>Annual</strong> Conference was memorablein nearly every aspect. Starting from thehosting country, Malta, which is beautifulin its landscape and its people. None of usin our delegation had ever been to Malta,so that was a very sweet and excitingexperience for us. In our observations,<strong>IAESTE</strong> is wonderful because of its people.This is something we experienced fi rst handfor the first time at the Conference. Overthe course of the meetings, we had theopportunity to meet people from all over theworld and we learned so much informationand on top of everything else, many of themwere very young! We were most amazedby the amount of confi dence, knowledge andthe positive attitude of these young folks. Inaddition, the most unforgettable experienceto me has to be the amazing support that wereceived. Because of a late start, we did notbring many offers to the Conference, yet,many countries were willing to trade andagreed to wait for our offers. I was movedby this sense of trust and open-mindedness.And, of course, how could anyone forget theInternational Night! The experience of thediverse food, music, costumes, languages…that will stay with us for a very, very longtime.We hope to see you again soon and thanksso much for the wonderful experience inMalta and to be part ofthe <strong>IAESTE</strong> family.Mandy Liu, IEET<strong>IAESTE</strong> ANNUAL REVIEW 2006WELCOME18

Thanks to thisvision, we have been able to start a wellstructured organisation that guarantees a solidframework with continuation, independent ofrotating academics, administrators, students,etc. The headquarters are situated in themain building of the Engineering School atGhent University and are managed by theLocal Committee President, Tim VandenBerghe and by our public relations officerfrom the Engineering Faculty, AnneliesVermeir who is also the National Secretaryof <strong>IAESTE</strong> Belgium.Besides the increasing interest from incomingand outgoing students (a growth of more than60% during the last three years), we shouldalso highlight the organisation of the 10thJUMP “Training and Motivation Seminar” in2004 (29 September – 3 October) at GhentUniversity, with 60 participating delegatesfrom 16 different countries.In Belgium, <strong>IAESTE</strong> offers the opportunityfor students to be trained in an internationalenvironment, to experience new culturesand to gain a unique experience in anengineering lab.

Even moreexciting, is the fact that we still have contactwith some of our former students who arenow working for an international biomedicalengineering company, or who are runningtheir own small-sized company. We receivedstudents from as far as Lebanon, and ourlatest trainee, Paul, whom we trained in2005, is now making a Master thesis at theTU Trondheim about heart valve modelling.This topic came up by accident during one ofthe many discussions in our lab and proveshis personal curiosity to look further than thescheduled tasks.Our staff is very motivated to yearly investsome fascinating time in new potentials, toshare with them our laboratory life and ofcourse integrate them in the rich social andcultural life of our city.This process started all by accident but isnow continued with a big heart.

My dream was comingtrue but ironically I could not go becausethe traineeship I was given clashed with myUniversity exams so I decided not to go butto fi nish my Mechanical Engineering Studiesby the fi rst semester of 2006 and to preparemyself again to be part of this group andfi nally I achieved it.<strong>IAESTE</strong> Process 2005-2006,People Government ConferenceThe process 2005-2006 demanded hardwork. Because I had already been throughthe selection process I wanted to help andparticipate in the activities of the NationalCommittee. I was asked to give someInformative Conferences in my Universityand did it with a lot of excitement andresponsibility.Furthermore, I had the chance to visit TheLima Children’s Hospital every Sunday anddid some social work there with othercandidates. It was spectacular and shockingat the same time talking to the parents orrelatives of the children who told us howhard is for them, not only to afford medicine,but also to leave their work from thecountryside to be with their children in thecapital of Peru. This is when I realised howimportant <strong>IAESTE</strong> is in my community: notonly getting skilled in technical experience butalso promoting international understandingand goodwill between people and trying tocreate better life conditions.Many candidates applied for <strong>IAESTE</strong>placements but in the end only seventeensucceeded in getting a traineeship. Since2001 when <strong>IAESTE</strong> in Peru was establishedtwenty fi ve students have benefi ted from an<strong>IAESTE</strong> placement so each year we manageto increase the number of traineeships.The ruins of Macchu Picchu,“The Lost City from the Incas”discovered by Hiram Binghamin 1911By August 2005 the selection process wasalready completed. Now it was time toprepare the International Students ReceptionCommittee which welcomed studentsfrom Finland, Serbia and Montenegro andColombia. We spent a beautiful one-weektrip to Cusco, the main archeological city inSouth America and the capital of the IncaEmpire. We were able to appreciate a lot ofhistorical walls and ruins, green landscapesfull of the history of the Incas, the whitesplendour and magic from La Cordillera delos Andes and the spectacular Lost City ofMacchu Picchu.One of the most memorable times duringthis seven day trip happened in a Children’sShelter called “La Esperanza” where youngLa Esperanza Children’s Shelter,Cusco 2005children showed us that hope is not a utopiabut is living with kindness and tenderness.We spent the best morning ever sharing,dancing, singing and playing games withthem. While there we participated in abirthday party for a seventeen year-old girlso the chocolate cake and sodas we gotwere special for this lovely and impressiveday. It was really touching when all of us sangthe Happy Birthday song and this cute girlexpressed her emotion by dropping innocenttears. It was the fi rst time in years that shehad had a party and we were lucky to bethere with all of them.Back in the city, a Swiss trainee had arrivedand he with the other trainees continuedtheir placements at Telefónica del Peru, aCommunications Company in my countryand during their time there were working onIP systems. At the end of their traineeshipsall of them were glad to have worked in thisbig Company.Andrés, Eric, Antti, Marko andJose at the Cusco Main Square, PerúFinally, I wish to express my gratitude to the<strong>IAESTE</strong> Peru National Committee.

The fact that <strong>IAESTE</strong> has gone fromOrla’s genuine enthusiasm and appreciationstrength to strength and grown in size fromof the <strong>IAESTE</strong> Programme shone throughits original 10 countries to more than 80 isduring her presentation.<strong>IAESTE</strong> ANNUAL REVIEW 2006evidence of the relevance and success ofthe programme. However, the adventures,the cultural insights, the friends made andthe great times experienced by the <strong>IAESTE</strong>trainees are often untold. The <strong>IAESTE</strong>Trainee of the Year Award is an event whichgives trainees an opportunity to tell the storyof their experiences whilst also showcasingthe programme’s benefits to employers,sponsors, parents, participating bodies andother students. In recent years the Traineeof the Year award has been successfully heldin the Republic of Ireland, Switzerland andthe UK amongst others. While each countrybrings its own particular twist to the eventthe basic format remains similar. Recenttrainees give a short presentation, repletewith photos and anecdotes, on their hostcountry, their traineeship and their overallexperience. The enthusiasm and regardof students for <strong>IAESTE</strong> is evident in eachdifferent presentation and is an invaluablesource of motivation for employers, studentsand also <strong>IAESTE</strong> itself.On 22 November 2005, the fourth <strong>IAESTE</strong>Ireland Trainee of the Year event was heldin University College Dublin. Nine studentsgave presentations on their experiences ofChina, Austria, Switzerland, Canada, theUSA, the UK and Germany. Orla McKeever,a Civil Engineering student from DundalkThe University of Applied Science Winterthurwas the venue for <strong>IAESTE</strong> Switzerland’sTrainee of the Year event on 23 November2005. From the 10 participating trainees,Stefan Trenkle emerged triumphant afterhis presentation on his <strong>IAESTE</strong> experiencesin Iran. Over 60 people attended the eventwhich also had presentations from studentswho had been in the UK and Egypt amongstother countries.<strong>IAESTE</strong> in Northern Ireland also showcasedtheir students’ experiences with a Traineeof the Year event. Held in Queen’sUniversity on 31 October 2005, the winningpresentation was given by Kevin Quinn on histraineeship in Norway. As an added bonus,Kevin also qualifi ed to take part in the overallUK Trainee of the Year event and went onto take third place in that event.The winner of the eighth UK Trainee of theYear event, which was held at the BritishCouncil in London, was Ingrid Orme, anarchitecture student from Edinburgh Collegeof Art. Ingrid did her <strong>IAESTE</strong> traineeshipin an architecture firm in Brazil. Ingrid’straineeship has inspired her to follow acareer in architecture and humanitarianrelief and plans, this year, to do an internshipin the UN’s Human Settlement division.These trainees’ presentations, short thoughthey are, bring the <strong>IAESTE</strong> Programme tolife. Enthusiasm, motivation, confidenceand inspiration are all evident benefi ts thatboth students and employers can gain fromparticipation in the programme and whichare visible at each Trainee of the YearAward.While the award events rely on theparticipation of the trainees, also essential tothe proceedings are the judges, sponsors andhosts, who are too numerous to mention inthis short space. Without their gracious andinvaluable assistance, the Trainee of the Yearevents would not be the success that theyhave become.Neil MaherNational Secretary<strong>IAESTE</strong> Ireland24

SupportServicesto <strong>IAESTE</strong>Internet Development Team (IDT)The IDT, Internet Development Team, was founded in Copenhagenin 1998 by volunteers from fi ve different countries, with the goal todeliver IT services to <strong>IAESTE</strong>. Today 13 volunteers from 8 countries areinvolved in IDT.The services include anything which the organisation requests, such asweb and e-mail services. The web services include a private website,the <strong>IAESTE</strong> IntraWeb and provide technical assistance for the Friends of<strong>IAESTE</strong> Network, FoIN.Csaba StoiaIDT Co-ordinatorThe IDT maintains the public Internet pages, www.iaeste.org, which provides informationon <strong>IAESTE</strong> and links to all Members countries’ home pages and contact details.Friends of <strong>IAESTE</strong> Network (FoIN)The International <strong>IAESTE</strong> Alumni organisation; Friends of <strong>IAESTE</strong>Network (FoIN) is now celebrating its 10th year of prosperous activityin <strong>IAESTE</strong>. Today we can count more than 10,000 members in ourstrong network which was fi rst organised on an international level in1996. <strong>IAESTE</strong> has a distinguished tradition of keeping in touch withformer trainees, as a result of which the Friends of <strong>IAESTE</strong> Network hassuccessfully brought Alumni together from around the world. There isno doubt that many of our members feel a strong allegiance to <strong>IAESTE</strong>as this organisation has infl uenced their personal life and careers to agreat extent.Maryam FarahaniFoIN Co-ordinatorThe main purpose of FoIN is to make it easy for National <strong>IAESTE</strong> organisations to keepin touch with their alumni in order to support the concept of student exchange andinternational understanding. Members receive the FoIN quarterly Newsletter about FoINactivities, news from members and reports from trainees as well as <strong>IAESTE</strong> upcomingevents. Members can also fi nd former friends they have made through <strong>IAESTE</strong> with a searchfunction in the network.To become a member of the friends of <strong>IAESTE</strong> Networkplease visit our website and sign up: http://www.iaeste.org/friendsSeminar on <strong>IAESTE</strong> Development (SID)SID serves <strong>IAESTE</strong> by bringing together <strong>IAESTE</strong> Members and CooperatingInstitutions to discuss issues of best practice, administration,organisational advancement and the development of the organisation.Unlike the <strong>Annual</strong> Conference, which focuses on the exchange oftraineeships, SID provides a structured forum for delegates to discussideas and actions to improve <strong>IAESTE</strong> as an International organisation.Work Groups on specifi c tasks requested by the General Conference,<strong>IAESTE</strong> Board and the Membership at large provide the topics tobe discussed at SID. In addition, a number of ongoing tasks such asThomas FaltnerSID Co-ordinatorMentoring, General Conference Introductory sessions and updating of <strong>IAESTE</strong> forms andmaterials are tackled by SID. The results from the Work Groups are refi ned over the yearinto recommendations that go back to the Board and then to the General Conference foroffi cial voting and implementation.The <strong>IAESTE</strong> OmbudsmanThe post of Ombudsman was created by a decision of the 2001 General Conferenceof <strong>IAESTE</strong> held in Durban, South Africa. The Ombudsman is an independent person, towhom students can report complaints about unfair treatment, with the aim of arriving ata fair settlement. The Ombudsman reports to the General Conference each year aboutall incidents reported to him from students. He also proposes measures to prevent similarincidents in future.Bernardo J Herold, the former National Secretary of <strong>IAESTE</strong> Portugal, is the <strong>IAESTE</strong>Ombudsman.For further information on the Ombudsman please go to www.iaeste.orgor contact him at ombudsman@iaeste.orgor write to: Offi ce of the Ombudsman, P.O Box 10662771-901 Paço de Arcos, Portugal
