IAESTE Students visiting Bayer AG, Leverkusen, Germany in 1963 SUPPORT SERVICES TO IAESTE Seminar on IAESTE Development (SID) SID serves as a means to bring together IAESTE members and co- operating institutions to discuss issues of best practices, administration, organizational advancement and development. Unlike the Annual Conference, which focuses on the exchange of internships, SID provides an opportunity for delegates from countries to come together and focus on the development and improvement of IAESTE as an international organization. Work groups on specific tasks requested by the General Conference sessions from the previous January provide a forum for debate. The resulting work from the work groups are refined over the year into recommendations that go back to the General Conference for official voting and implementation. Internet Development Team (IDT) The IDT, Internet Development Team, was founded in Copenhagen in 1998 by volunteers from five different countries, with the goal to deliver IT services to IAESTE. The services include anything which the organization requests, such as web services and e-mail services. The web services include a public website, www.iaeste.org and a private website. The IDT maintains the public Internet pages which provide information on IAESTE and links to all members countries’ home pages and contact details. Friends of IAESTE Network (FoIN) More than 300.000 students have been exchanged for technical experience since the foundation of the Association in 1948. Where are all these people now, what are they doing and how has IAESTE influenced their career and personal life? This is the kind of information that the international IAESTE alumni organization Friends of IAESTE Network is collecting and sharing with the members. Members of the Friends of IAESTE Network receive newsletters about IAESTE activities, news from other members and reports from students who have been on IAESTE traineeships. A search function also helps members to locate the friends they have made through IAESTE. The network has now more than 7000 members and the number is increasing by several hundreds every year. For IAESTE it is important to keep in touch with our alumni to develop the organization and generate more placements. To become a member of the Friends of IAESTE network simply visit http://www.iaeste.org/friends and sign up. The IAESTE Ombudsman The post of Ombudsman was created by a decision of the 2001 General Conference of IAESTE held in Durban, South Africa. The Ombudsman is an independent person, to whom students can report complaints about unfair treatment, with the aim of arriving at a fair settlement. The Ombudsman reports to the General Conference each year about all incidents reported to him from students. He also proposes measures to prevent similar incidents in future. Nicholas Leonard, the retired National Secretary of IAESTE Ireland, is the first IAESTE Ombudsman. For further information on the Ombudsman please go to www.iaeste.org or contact him at either ombudsman@iaeste.org or write to The Office of the IAESTE Ombudsman P.O Box 180 Naas Co.
