BEST Course in Spring
BEST Thessaloniki in the spring season, organizes a multi-day academic seminar in an international environment. Through the seminar, students have the opportunity to develop their skills, get to know different cultures and new people, but most of all have fun. The seminar encourages diversity and helps European STEM students to acquire an international mindset. Participants are at least 22 students from technology institutions all over Europe, as well as 10 undergraduate students from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
