How do I apply for ESTIEM events?
ESTIEM has a PORTAL, where you can scroll the events that are currently offered. After finding an interesting event, you can apply for it in at the event description. The number of participants to an event is often limited. The organising Local Group chooses the participants for the event, and often a maximum of 2-3 participants can get in to the event from a Local Group. So, it is worth it to apply with a friend! For some of the events you have to write some motivational text, where you describe why you are the right participant for the event. If you get in, your registration as a participant is informed to you via email. Applying for Council Meetings, Regional Coordination Meetings and Local Group Exchanges happens centralized inside the Local Group. Contact ulkoministeri(at)prodeko.org if you are interested in these events. Please note, that in order to apply for the events, you have to be signed in to the portal!
How do I sign in to the ESTIEM portal?
ESTIEM user accounts are created for the freshmen in the beginning of the semester, and the login information are sent to the email address given to the guild. It’s beneficial to save the login information already in the beginning, so that they won’t get lost in your inbox. When signing in the first time, you should also update your personal information in your profile. If your login information is lost, please contact ulkoministeri(at)prodeko.org.
Support from the department and the guild
Full members of the Guild of Industrial engineering and management Prodeko can apply for a grant of 100 euros per year from the guild for two different ESTIEM trips. In addition, the guild pays a 50 euro introductory grant for the very first ESTIEM trip.
The application for subsidies is made after the trips via the guild's expense claim form. The application for reimbursement should be accompanied by receipts for the reimbursed travel expenses and proof of participation in the trip, for example a photo from your ESTIEM MyProfile page showing your participation in the reimbursed event.
If the amount of the travel allowance is well above the budgeted amount, the Board may use its discretion to pay the travel allowance. The traveller can check with the Board for an update on the remaining balance of the grant.
No grant will be paid if the person has received a similar visit and travel grant from another association. The Fuksiexchange will be instructed by the Minister for Foreign Affairs whether they can apply for a grant for their trip.
