The highest decision making body in BEST!

BEST is a wide and strong network of technological students present in 86 groups all over Europe. As such, there is a need to discuss and decide together on highly important topics that affect the organization as a whole. 

Twice a year, a General Assembly that gathers delegates from all Local BEST Groups is organized. Our members always attend and represent Madrid Carlos III in order to enhance the internal structure and working methods, and keep developing ourselves. It is a great opportunity to meet members from other universities and work together to make a positive impact BEST through the international involvement of local members. 

Meet our lovely region and our pet Flappy!

Local BEST Groups are divided into 10 Regions for a better planning and supervision of their activity. BEST Madrid Carlos III corresponds to Region F, along with Aveiro, Barcelona, Delft, ENSTA Bretagne, ENSTA Paris, Glasgow, Porto, Turin and Valladolid. 

Twice a year, delegates from all these Local BEST Groups gather in a Regional Meeting to share their experience and knowledge, create a bond and learn new soft skills. 

In Spring 2023, the Regional Meeting was hosted in Madrid and organized by our members! Around 100 BEST members from all over Europe will come to our city for a weekend full of fun and inspiring learning experiences.
