- Central European Convention
The Central European Convention is a group of several
IAESTE Members in the specific geographic region. Those are all "student-run" Countries - so Students are in the decision making positions. (Instead of Academic or Professional run Countries)Those Countries agree to meet twice a year and hold working and discussion groups. And of course get to know the Culture of the hosting Country.
History
The Central European Convention (CEC) was founded in May 1998 in Tuheljske Toplice, Croatia, on the initiative of Thomas Haim, former National Secretary IAESTE AUSTRIA, and Mario Kauzlaric, former National Secretary IAESTE CROATIA. Because of the great success, the CEC is being held 2 times a year, and so far there has been 17 CEC.
