About Us

The International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE A.s.b.l.) is an international non-profit organisation that provides paid internship exchanges on a global scale within technological and scientific educations.

In IAESTE, every member country is responsible for the activities in their country. For IAESTE Denmark that means among others to raise jobs as well as arrange accommodation and social activities for the interns that come to Denmark from the other member countries.

We ensure that our incoming interns feel comfortable just as we help students at Danish educational institutions to secure their internship in one of our member countries.

We offer our volunteer members who participate in running the organisation considerable experiences on national and international level and valuable possibilities to connect with Danish employers.

As employer you can utilise our broad network and win highly qualified interns to your company.

In Denmark our office is situated at DTU Lyngby but we do our best to offer the programme to all educational institutions in Denmark.

History

Back in 1948, when IAESTE was founded, it was Anker Engelund, who was invited. He asked Polyteknisk Forening (PF) to represent Denmark at the first meeting, so IAESTE Denmark was student run from the beginning and is part of PF until today. Starting with 10 member countries, IAESTE has grown over the years to span the whole world and has in total exchanged over 360 000 students. We in Denmark provided internships to thousands of students and are looking forward to many more.

Our Goal

IAESTE Denmark's goal is to promote international understanding and collaboration amongst students. We strive to provide the employers with tailored interns according to their need and act as a well of cultural enrichment to these motivated interns while they obtain technically relevant experience that will aid them in builiding their further career.

Core Competencies

IAESTE is built on friendship, trust, respect, professionalism, development and intercultural cooperation. We work towards these values and are committed to impact student development through international exchange.
