Profile of Interactie and its members

Interactie is the International study association for students of Industrial engineering and management and was founded in 1996 as a sub association of Industria. Interactie is the only sub-association of Industria, the general study association for students of Industrial engineering and management of the Eindhoven university of technology. Interactie was founded to take care of all the international activities that take place in the field of industrial engineering and management for Eindhoven University of Technology. The aim of Interactie is to give her members the opportunity to develop themselves internationally. The way in which this goal is achieved is by the European organisation ESTIEM (European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management). ESTIEM is a network with local groups at 66 European universities in 23 different countries. Interactie is one of the founders of this network that has the potential to reach about 50.000 students.

There are lots of different activities in which Interactie members can participate within the ESTIEM-network. These activities are explained here. All these activities are organised by local students. Interactie tries to organise at least one event a year in which students from the entire ESTIEM-network can participate. Besides, Interactie also organises local activities for students of industrial engineering and management in Eindhoven. These activities are for example company visits, case competitions, drinks and other leisure activities.

Interactie also coordinates the introduction for foreign students who come to study at Eindhoven University of Technology for one or two semesters. Interactie arranges the housing for these students in cooperation with the International Office of the department of technology management and an Orientation Week. The Orientation Week is organized every August and has as purpose to make the exchange students feel welcome in Eindhoven and to introduce all the exchange students to eachother and Eindhoven.

Interactie has about 120 active members who study in Eindhoven. Furthermore Interactie has about 50 exchange students each semester who sign up for a membership. Internationally orientated is one of the features that almost every member of Interactie has. With lots of enthusiasm Interactie tries to give them as many opportunities as necessary to see how far her members can go (literally). The motto for the year 2009-2010 is therefore:

Stairway to Europe
