We are IAESTE 70 years of promoting international understanding and working with students, employers and universities within the IAESTE exchange programme has resulted in 361,105 life-changing experiences. This past year, 3418 students worked and lived in a country and culture very different to their own and contributed to their employer’s business agenda. In 2017 IAESTE connected 2200 employers and over 900 High Education Institutions in 85 countries. IAESTE Exchange Programme Development in 2017 2017 was a year of challenging changes in the IAESTE exchange programme administration. At the end of 2016 we implemented a totally new IT tool (Exchange Platform, iaeste.net) that enables us to manage the whole exchange process online, including for employers, students and IAESTE administrators. Adapting our processes to the new tool required extra effort from everyone involved in IAESTE. However, we are proud to have provided 361,105 life-changing, life-long experiences since 1948. In addition to this we are also improving the administration of IAESTE exchange process, promoting the IAESTE mission and expanding the IAESTE network and developing strategic relationships with the UN and EU. We are working hard to better communicate with IAESTE stakeholders (introducing a new Brand Manual), building and recognising long-term cooperation with IAESTE employers and alumni (including our IAESTE employer awards). Internationalisation: abroad and at home Today, most employers require previous experience before considering a student, but global competences are also gaining in importance. International traineeships where a multicultural environment and foreign languages present additional challenges to develop skills such as adaptability, interpersonal and communication skills, time management, confidence and team working. Being part of an international group permits trainees to build a network that will help them in their future career. Promoting International Understanding Exchange Report Many counties have been also affected by changes in law, procedures and politics and, unfortunately, we have noticed a slight decrease in our exchange numbers (by 2%). We have started many initiatives to revert the downward trend. Thanks to the new tool we can be more flexible and push the Whole Year Exchange approach, so more and more traineeships are available not only during the summer period in the Northern Hemisphere, but also during other months, to meet the expectations of students and employers. The feedback we have received so far is positive and we will keep developing the IAESTE Exchange Platform with aim to be faster, more reliable and more efficient. IAESTE social reception programmes are famous worldwide. Every summer many international weekend events are organised as well as hundreds of other events that help trainees to better understand the local cultures. Thousands of local volunteers manage international evenings, sightseeing tours, city games, sport activities and much more to help trainees fully participate in the daily life of the local community. This gives an additional dimension to the IAESTE experience. Olga Legacka, Development Manager, IAESTE 10 IAESTE Annual Review 2018

Most trainees worked on R&D projects (55%). Offers in this category are often laboratory-based and deal with special work. They entail some element of diagnostic analysis, testing and evaluation and have some theoretical content.
