EESTEC LC Karlsruhe is consisted of a group of highly motivated students ready to make something special in Karlsruhe. Founded only in April 2015, we have gathered more than 100 members by the end of 2016. As an EESTEC Local Committee (LC), our members have the right to participate in EESTEC events in all of Europe. We have organised two international academic workshops with the topics of electric mobility and medical engineering.
In addition to international and local events, we offer a direct contact between interested companies and students at the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology and on 52 further universities in Europe where EESTEC is represented. Our members are informed of all our events by a mailing list and they can choose which event suits them best. Membership is completely free. We are always searching for motivated students for our fundraising, PR, IT and HR team. If you are considering being an active member of any group on KIT, now is the time.
