Introduction to IACES
|
In September 1989 Civil Engineering students from various European countries
came together in Delft for the first Academic Congress of Civil Engineering
StudentS or, in short, ACCESS. The aim was to discuss the possibilities
of improving contacts between civil engineering students throughout Europe.
The final result was the establishment of the International Association
of Civil Engineering Students (IACES).
During its growth period the organization has established contacts in
more than fifty Universities in and outside Europe. The major aim of IACES
was the development of contacts between civil engineering students in
the world. Nowadays IACES is present at civil engineering faculties through
whole Europe, in the form of a Local Committees (LC’s) or Contact
Persons (CP’s).
The students who are active in IACES organise a lot of different international
activities. By taking part in IACES activities students can exchange opinions
and experience, and discover new possibilities to understand and handle
engineering problems or situations. Most important however is the opportunity
to get known to and share different cultures, having interesting excursions
and establishing personal friendships, also useful in future working life.
The structure of IACES consists of all independent Local Committees together,
with their own members. Several activities a year are organised by LC’s,
and they can be joined by the members. During an activity, which mostly
takes a week, there can be lectures, excursions and in the evening great
parties. In this way it’s very interesting to participate and a
nice way to get known to other cultures.
Looking at the continuous development in Europe with increasing mobility
of workers and students, one understands the importance of international
contacts between students. IACES is heading for the future!
