The ESTIEM Local Group (LG) consisting of students from Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU) participated in the LXXI Council Meeting of the ESTIEM Network held in Niš, Serbia. This event is one of the main activities of ESTIEM (European Students Association for Industrial Engineering and Management), and aims to expand the opportunities for international cooperation of local groups, exchange experiences and participate in the decision-making process of the network.

The AzTU ESTIEM Local Group was represented at the event by students - Muhammad-Ali Salamov and Ulvi Jafarli. They actively participated in the decision-making mechanisms of the network. At the meeting, which was attended by approximately 300 people, the main goal of the AzTU students was to ensure the transition of the local group to the Observer level.

As a result of the level of preparation and professional presentation of the AzTU representatives, unlike other local groups that participated in parallel at the Guest level, the AzTU ESTIEM Local Group was the first group to move to the next stage.

AzTU students successfully demonstrated both the group's activities and the "Novruz Europe 3D" project in their presentations.

As a result of the voting held after the presentation, the AzTU ESTIEM Local Group was officially promoted to the Observer level.
