Welcome

from the Alumni Relations Manager Welcome to the latest edition of the IAESTE alumni magazine ‘Friends’. In January we launched a project to reach 5000 members of the alumni network by the end of June and I am pleased to say that we achieved this target. In fact, we are well on our way to 6000. As our numbers grow so does our strength and the possibilities of what we can achieve. As I am sure you are aware, IAESTE is a unique organisation made up of students, professionals, trainees, faculty, volunteers etc. It follows that our alumni association membership is similarly varied. We consider our alumni not just former trainees but also the people that work with IAESTE and are involved with it. We also use the network for current trainees as a source of information and guidance. I believe that by having such an open network we can maintain the ‘spirit’ that IAESTE is so famous for. Being an ‘alumnus’ of IAESTE is not just about old times, it’s about sharing those old times with those new to IAESTE and keeping the IAESTE spirit alive for future generations. I would like to thank you for your involvement and encourage you to keep sharing your experience with others via the network. We are already preparing for the next IAESTE Annual Alumni Conference (AAC) in Belfast, January 2013. Places will be limited to 50 and we’re expecting quite a high demand, so do look out for news of when you can register, on the alumni network. I hope you enjoy the contents of this month’s magazine.

Message

from the General Secretary Goran Radnovic

I am delighted to see that we now have over 5000 members of the IAESTE Alumni Network and are growing each day. Not only do we have many new alumni joining, activity on the network is also increasing. We are about to introduce a new careers module that I hope will provide you with yet another reason to log in. Employers are keen to engage with our talented alumni and from listening to feedback on what we have done so far, you are keen to hear about more career and job opportunities from us. There can be no doubt that these are challenging times financially for the global economy and IAESTE is not immune from that. Traineeships can be harder to find and students more cautious about the decisions they take and there is increased competition. We should see these difficulties as opportunities though and look to fill the gaps by continuing to provide highly skilled, motivated trainees to our employers and by providing life changing opportunities to our young people. To support our member countries and to help them face these challenges, we are setting up a Global Support Team of paid professionals to help in areas such as IT, account management and country development. We are developing our IT systems, website and social media activity and of course we will continue to increase our efforts with the alumni network. Together, we are confident that we will be able to face up to these challenges and plan for a bright future.

We hear from the new IAESTE a.s.b.l. Fundraising Manager on what she does and her vision for fundraising in IAESTE

Alumni Network

l What is your role in IAESTE? My task as the fundraising manager for IAESTE a.s.b.l. is to organise the fundraising strategy and achieve some financial goals, so as to assist the association to achieve the objectives of the strategic development plan, which are to build long term relationships worldwide, increase the efficiency of the Association, offer premium services and define IAESTE as a global brand.

What’s your name and where are you from? I am Eleftheria Karydi and I come from Crete, Greece. I am currently living in Thessaloniki.

l

l What was your background prior to working with IAESTE? I come from a multidisciplinary background which includes political and economic studies and experience in both the private and non-profit sector. I graduated from the University of the Aegean where I got my bachelor degree in International Relations and Organisations. My postgraduate studies were on Southeast European Studies at the University of Athens. During that period I got involved in the non-profit sector for the first time and worked at humanitarian NGOs such as the Hellenic Society of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Amnesty International and UNHCR. At that point I realised that I would like to work in the non-profit sector and that fundraising is the most basic pillar which supports NGOs to achieve their objectives. However, I worked for a few years as an executive of the European Projects department of a well-known consulting company, where my occupation was to plan and co-manage information and promotion projects and other development programmes funded by the EU. I have learned a lot by working at the private sector but I missed the feeling that I offered to society through my work. That was the major incentive that pushed me to apply for IAESTE.

l How important are alumni to you and your work? The Alumni community plays a significant role in the association. They are the heart and soul of IAESTE, the people who have gained amazing experiences from the IAESTE exchanges and the biggest supporters of the Association. They represent IAESTE in the world, spread the word and share their excitement. Many Alumni are looking for a way to support the association and this is shown by their interest to become employers for IAESTE interns, their participation in the procedures and events of the association or by becoming donors. l What are you enjoying about working for IAESTE? My duty is to support the exchange programme and the international image of IAESTE. The feeling that I work for a greater cause gives me real pleasure and a sense of responsibility. However, what gives me incentive to carry on despite the difficulties is the IAESTE spirit which I couldn’t understand before I become part of the “family”. l How can people get involved with your work if they wish to? At this turning point in the history of IAESTE, when it’s about to become stronger and more unified, the alumni community can stimulate this initiative. With regard to the project of corporate funding, alumni can support my work by spreading the word that we have started an IAESTE a.s.b.l. Global Partnership Programme and by providing me with information about companies which would be willing to participate in this project.

Alumni Network Christian Hess, an Austrian alumnus who spoke at the recent SID in Leibnitz, tells us about his work at Microsoft and how he sees the future for IAESTE What is your name and where are you from? Christian Hess, from Austria, living in Vienna

l

l Who do you work for and what do you do?

I am working for Microsoft Austria in a management position being responsible for the Operator Channels business as Operator Channels Lead. Operator Channels is the telco business and how Microsoft works with operators to build joint offerings and services for mobility, consumer and business customers ranging from mobile devices to IPTV solutions.

l When did you first learn about IAESTE?

I had my first contact with IAESTE in 1990 when I met Wolfgang Schreiber and Heinz Novak (IAESTE Vienna board members), both old friends from the days at school.

l What was your first involvement?

I jumped directly into real business taking over responsibility for the marketing agenda as Vice President for Marketing

l Were you a member of a Local Committee or National Committee? First I was member of the LC Vienna in Austria and then helped build the new NC in Austria and was also part of the first board of the NC Austria l Did you attend any IAESTE conferences or SIDs? I attended 5th, 6th and 7th SID. (and this year’s SID as guest speaker) l If you did, what do you remember best about the experience? The years I spent with IAESTE will always be part of my memories. Lots of experiences to build and drive great projects and an entirely new organisation (IAESTE AUSTRIA), meeting many interesting people, dealing with tough challenges and building a widespread network throughout IAESTE and the many corporations we worked with. It shaped my personal development and enriched my life! l Are you still in contact with people you met through IAESTE, either on a traineeship, or through being a member? Yes. I am attending Austrian alumni meetings to stay in

contact with the community. l How did your time with IAESTE impact on your life/career? Working with IAESTE was a great preparation for my life and career. I got great contacts with HR and business people and shortly after ending my NC board period was approached by an IT company to start in a newly formed division as part time resource. Further it helped me build great social and business skills as well as a wide spread network. l Are you still involved with IAESTE now as an alumnus? Yes, I am still engaged as an alumnus – as my time and business allows. I try to support with contacts to partners for job raising as well as passing my experiences in many talks with IAESTE members on various events l What would you say is the importance of an organisation like IAESTE in today’s world? The importance of an organisation like IAESTE today is still there. Providing a solid platform for exchanging technical experience and enabling students to build skills aside from their studies through traineeships is as important as being a great opportunity for IAESTE members to get new experiences through the various projects they are running. IAESTE has great assets in the teams that deal with the companies and organisations – and this is an incredible advantage we can leverage to build great new services and offerings for our clients. In a world without borders where technological evolution drives cross-continent and cross-industry collaboration, flexibility is one of the key requirements of today’s industry. We can support those companies searching for talent by providing services based on our current assets and new offerings. But more than ever it is important for IAESTE to adapt to the changing world faster than ever while others may remain at their existing status and level. The future is a moving target where we as organisation need to adapt faster with the changes and the new requirements of the markets and our eco-system and be a learning organisation. l Anything you would like to add?

IAESTE needs great aspirations to take the organisation to the future. Being good is not enough. We need to focus on being a great partner for our students and our customers, the various organisations and companies that support us with traineeships and much more. I wish all of us to be hungry for change and high aspirations to continue our great services IAESTE provides to students, organisations and companies.

Focus on Tajikistan

By Dr. P. Pulatov, the National Secretary of IAESTE Tajikistan

I

was born and raised in Tajikistan. I graduated from the Tajik State University and I received my PhD from Moscow State University in Applied Mathematics. Tajikistan is a small country located in Central Asia, the territory of which is 142.1 thousand sq km, with a population of 7.5 Million. Tajikistan has an ancient history. Ancient Tajikistan was part of the ancient Persia and Aryan nation. The first independent Tajik state was formed in the 9th century under the leadership of the Ismoili Somoni , who took Bukhara as their capital. This Somonid state collapsed in the 11th century and since then Tajikistan became part of Bukhar-

ian Emirate. At the end of 19th century the northern part of the country was annexed by the Russian Empire, while the south was part of Bukharian Emirate. After formation of USSR, Tajikistan became part of it in 1924 until 1991, when after the collapse of Soviet Union it gained its independence. Tajikistan is mountainous country where mountains constitute more than 93% of the territory. The official language is Persian (Tajiki). The Russian language is also widely used and part of the population speaks Turkic languages. The capital of Tajikistan is Dushanbe, the population of which is above one million. The main cities are Khujand, Kulob, Istarafshan, Pendjikent, which are more than 2,500 years old. Tajikistan is a secular state. The majority of the population is Muslim, with minorities of Christians, Jews and

Zoroastrians. Today, Tajikistan borders with Kyrgyzstan on the north, China on the east, Uzbekistan on the west and Afghanistan on the south. It is an agrarian country. However metallurgy (aluminum production), textile industry and mining are also well developed. In addition, gold, silver, polymetals, coal, gas, oil and other elements are produced is small quantities. Agriculture consists of the cultivation of

cotton, vegetables and fruits. After the collapse of Soviet Union in the end of 1991, Tajikistan gained its independence. In January of 1992, the Technological University of Tajikistan, where I was the Rector, became a cooperating institution with IAESTE. In the same year, the National Committee of IAESTE Tajikistan was formed and elected me as the National Secretary. In 1993, IAESTE Tajikistan became an associate member, and in 1996 a full member of IAESTE. Tajikistan became the 33rd member country in IAESTE. In all these years, IAESTE grew worldwide by 3 times, and today about 90 countries are part of it. Among other former Soviet Union countries, we were the second country after Russia to become a member of IAESTE. We also have

Alumni Network helped Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan to become members through my friends who were working as Rectors in those countries. We have also contributed to the creation of IAESTE in the Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and other former countries of the Soviet Union and some in the Asian continent. Throughout those years, IAESTE has changed a lot from a purely European organisation to a truly international organisation. Also the changes are seen in the quality of job offers as there are more research-related offers, professional jobs and a lot less manual jobs. However, with years, the process of obtaining a visa and work permit became harder and the visa and airfare fees have increased. These factors have a negative effect on the quantity of the exchange. In Tajikistan, IAESTE is a popular organisation among students. It is registered with the Ministry of Justice as an NGO, and it is non-profit organisation. Tajikistan had a civil war from 1992 to 1997, which took place in the central

than 450 students for practical training to 40 countries of the world. IAESTE in Tajikistan is the only organisation that deals with students from engineering universities in the country. It truly helps future engineers in their career development. It is very important to us to know that almost all students who had practical training through IAESTE were successful worldwide in spite of strong competition. IAESTE offers excellent opportunities for young people to be successful in the future. We attach great importance to the work with former students. Alumni are very active with IAESTE Tajikistan; almost one third of our national committee consists of former IAESTE students. They help us select students through testing and interviewing them. They also help outgoing students with the necessary paperwork. Some of the former students of IAESTE lead companies and factories and they host students themselves, which

and southern regions of the country. Despite the war, IAESTE was still operating and we were receiving students in the northern part of the country, and creating appropriate conditions for them. Nevertheless, it could be said that the first students that had a practical training in Tajikistan from 1992 to 1997 were the bravest. Despite the difficulties of the transitional period, in these years we received more than 330 foreign students and sent more

pleases us. A former student of IAESTE, Mirzoshuhrat Muminov, who received his training in the year 2000 in Switzerland, now works as a top manager in the food industry. His company accepts 3 to 4 students per year for internship and usually he supervises those students himself. Another former student Mirzobakhodur Mirzobakhodurov who received his training in Sweden now works as a managing director of the factory for the production of soft drinks. Every year he accepts IAESTE students in his company. There are many similar examples. IAESTE alumni never declined to assist us and that is why we consider working with alumni as an important part of our work.

My IAESTE experience ELENA DEL CARMEN CHIARI PRECIADO, an alumnus from Panama, tells us about her experience in Germany

I

got the opportunity to participate in the IAESTE programme after finishing my last semester at the Universidad Tecnologica de Panama. This programme caught my attention the moment I learned that its main objective is to help students gather professional experience and knowledge outside their own country. I accepted an offer to work in the Institute for Tunneling Pipeline Technology and Construction Management TLB, part of Ruhr University Bochum in Germany. Before starting the internship, I was somewhat acquainted with tunnels and their boring methods. Just to know I would be using state of the art equipment and processes was in itself thrilling. I was also up for the challenge of living in a country so different from my own, even with the extra setback of not speaking the language. The first few days I spent in TLB, my supervisor introduced me to everyone in the Institute: outstanding professionals from different parts of the world, most of whom in addition to working in the Institute, lecture in the University. I was also familiarised with the work I was going to be doing in the following months. My work involved researching the properties and performance of foam and Bentonite slurries in tunnel boring machines. During my internship, we developed a series of tests and made a remarkable find related to the different types of Bentonite. I was treated like a professional, not a student, and got to contribute ideas and developed investigations in very specific topics concerning Civil Engineering. The experience I gathered during my internship is invaluable, and having been able to work with these professionals was an honour. The people that form part of the TLB are great. They

took their time to explain to me the work they perform, got me to participate in seminars and even encouraged me to enroll in a German language course, which I have been continuing since my return to Panama. For the first time in my life I was on my own and I re-

For the first time in my life I was on my own and I really enjoyed it.

ally enjoyed it. Living in a country with a cultural and language barrier was difficult at first, but those things where the ones I loved the most at the end. I also got the chance to visit towns, cities and historical places in Germany and learn about their history, customs and traditions. The local IAESTE committee organised many activities and trips to make the experience even more worthwhile for all the trainees. I had never met people with such different backgrounds, and learning about their different upbringings, religion, race, stories and their way of thinking made me see my own life in a whole new perspective. Everything about my IAESTE experience was amazing and I had the time of my life. I learned so much and made lasting friendships. For all the reasons stated above, I highly recommend anyone who is interested in new valuable experiences to check out the IAESTE Programme.

One of our most active members, Lies Gunst tells us about her time with IAESTE

t has been about 3 years since I first got in touch with IAESTE. As I am graduating and entering a new chapter in my life, I look back to these amazing years I had. At this point people ask me how I got here and what I want in life. I can just say that I have to thank IAESTE for changing my life and see how it goes from here. I first got in touch with IAESTE through my local committee in Ghent, Belgium. I slightly knew the president at that moment and slightly knew what IAESTE was about. He desperately got me to engage in helping with our small local committee. I started helping to promote internships in Belgium, I attended international events, the first one being JUMP in Austria and soon discovered the amazing, magical world of IAESTE and IAESTE friends. I returned from JUMP more motivated than ever to make IAESTE better in our country, with the wish to get people to be as enthusiastic as at the international events. One thing led to another and now I stand here today, looking back at 3 years with IAESTE, 2 amazing internships, loads of international events and many many more friends. Looking back to these years makes me nostalgic to many great moments in my life. I went on an internship to Leoben, Austria. I remember getting on that airplane, nervous and scared, going for a big trip all by myself. I arrived in Austria, was met by a wonderful Summer Reception team. With a great group of about 10 trainees all being in Leoben, we got our first work experiences, visited places in and around Austria, held international cooking evenings and once in a while had an occasional swim in a lake or a fountain. We had the summer of our lives.

After enjoying this internship, my enthusiasm for IAESTE became bigger and I started out as Local President of our committee. With an amazing team we raised more jobs than ever, went to every international event that we could find and get to, to show with pride that IAESTE Belgium was small, but more present than ever. Being extremely lucky I got a second internship during summer

and got on a plane, again even more scared than the first time, to Hong Kong. It was a total culture shock, amazingly hot with great food and a vibrant city. What more do you want? Again I had the chance to experience a totally different life, work in a different environment and enjoy a great summer. Besides going on internships, I had the chance to be able to attend two General Conferences and help exchange internships, attended SID, to help develop IAESTE, gave training about job-raising on CEC’s and was able to give a bit back to an organisation that gave me so much. IAESTE gave me confidence, broadened my horizons; got me to stand in front of a group of people and just talk and it gave me a closet full of t-shirts. But especially it gave me friends that gave me different views on life and who I will have anywhere I go in the world. Thank you!

Ana Alebić-Juretić tells us about travelling to her traineeship in 1974

I

t was a long time ago, as early as 1974. As a student of chemical engineering, I decided to take part in the IAESTE programme. In those early days countries were divided in two

but I exchanged this offer for the one from Poland. I might have chosen the easier way, but it was tough. In those days there was a direct train from Rijeka (the coastal town where I live) to Warsaw, and having passed a difficult exam, I jumped on the train in Zagreb (the town where I was studying). I was supposed to change trains in Koluski, a place on the railroad to Warsaw, to get to Lodz, an old industrial town known for its textile industry. In fact, I was headed to a traineeship in the newly built Central Laboratory for Textiles. That was my first time travelling to the countries of the eastern bloc which was quite different from my ordinary life. For example, on the Hungarian border I had to exchange a certain amount of hard western currency to Hungarian forints that I could use just for nothing, as being from Yugoslavia I should pay all travel cost in foreign currency, including the Yugoslavs’ dinar. Similarly, the Polish wage that I received the last day of my stay I could not use for booking my return trip, so I left with another student from Zagreb that spent it on a well designed silver necklace that I still wear sometimes. Anyway, after 20 hours of travelling I got off the train in Koluski. As the train arrived with approximately 1.5 hours of delay, it was just 5 minutes before the scheduled departure of the connecting

blocs, east and west, with the USA and the USSR having the leading roles. I was living in Yugoslavia, a country that does not exist anymore, but in those days it was well known as a country of six republics, five nations, four languages, three religions and two alphabets. It did not belong to any of those blocs, and therefore it was treated as citizen of the western country by the east bloc and as an eastern country by the west. Being somewhere in the “middle of the road“, the Yugoslavs were privileged to be able to travel freely to countries of both blocs. That is, if their financial conditions allowed it, or (like me) they were students. As every beginning is hard, so was mine. Based on my bigger sister’s experience, I applied for the IAESTE exchange, and got an offer from Turkey

train. Of course, in such a short time I had no chance to find out where platform No.5 was and to reach there from platform No.1, so I could only wave goodbye to the train leaving the station. Being exhausted, hungry (in spite of the box of cakes in my suitcase) and feeling cold, (it was mid-summer and I had left my warm clothes at home) I felt so miserable that I would have preferred to return home if there had been a train going there. But there was no such a train, and I had to do something. I tried to get information about the next train from the people standing on the platform, but they did not understand me. Finally I approached an older man, and he was willing to help me. Though we had some communications problems: he spoke Polish, German and French, while my languages were Croatian, English and Italian. In spite of the six different languages spoken, we found a common language due to his willingness to help me. In a way he calmed me down, explained that he was going the same way and that the next train was cancelled for some technical/political (unrest) reason and we should wait for the 11pm train. So it was. We arrived in Lodz in the middle of the night, he sent a woman that accompanied him by taxi to her home, while he ordered another taxi to my student house. So finally, at 3am I could go to sleep in the student house where I stayed during my traineeship. The next day he came to check up if everything was okay. In fact, I was the only one among students that

arrived directly to the student dormitory. We remained in contact for several years exchanging greeting cards every year in the French that I learned subsequently. I also invited him to visit me but he refused stating that was too old for travelling. In a way, he was my good angel at the

That was my first travel to the countries of eastern bloc that showed quite a difference from my ordinary life.

very beginning of my travelling. That experience brought to me some crucial points of behaviour during journeys: 1. take extra money for the extra (unexpected) situations ( with all type of credit/debit cards, this problem is solved now) 2. take some warm clothes, even in the middle of the summer 3. in an unexpected situation, eat something and then start thinking about how to solve it. I checked these principles later, and they worked.
