Our Team
Words from the president
Today, as we live in a globalised society, more and more training courses require international experience and many students are looking for technical internships abroad.
Based on fundamental values such as friendship, respect, trust and professionalism, and relying on the commitment of its 3,000 volunteers around the world, IAESTE aims to promote fair international dialogue and cooperation among its members. It seeks to ensure a high quality exchange programme in order to enrich technical and cultural development, without distinction of race, gender, culture, religious or political belief, disability, sexual orientation, etc.
Through its network of more than 3,000 employers in 87 member countries, it allows hundreds of students each year to experience an extraordinary and enriching immersion at both the cultural and professional levels.
The French branch based in Grenoble continues to develop in order to share this unique adventure with the wider world. If you recognize yourself in its values, do not hesitate to join us!

Hello, I'm Loula 🙂 I'm 20 years old and I'm a third-year student in a BUT info-com in Grenoble. I've been volunteering with the association for a year. Unsurprisingly, I'm part of the communications team! I'm even in charge of it at the moment. I also recently joined the jobraising team. I really wanted to be able to put to good use some of the knowledge I've acquired during my studies, while continuing to progress by practising within the association 😉

Hi, I'm Jonas, originally from Germany and living in Grenoble for the past year. I've been with IAESTE for 4 months, which is also my first voluntary organisation. Right from the start, all the volunteers and members seemed so friendly and I'm pleased to say that this feeling hasn't changed! In the association I'm in charge of the Pôle Outgoing, where I manage new members and students who are going abroad. I'm now in the final year of my studies, doing electrical engineering at Phelma.
