EBEC (European BEST Engineering Competition)
Every November, BEST Erlangen is hosting the local round of the European BEST Engineering Competition. As main partner of the EBEC Case Study, Siemens is providing students with a real case from its daily business.

BEST Course
During a BEST Course which takes place once a year (normally during the period of time of „Bergkirchweih“) the participants visit a site of Siemens. Such an excursion gives the international participants the opportunity to see a production or maintenance site of one of the leading players in various fields of German industry.
