The EBEC, European BEST Engineering Competition is one of Europe's biggest engineering competitions. This event is known for its continuous 24-hour format, in which participants are tested in one of the two existing categories: Team Design and Case Study.

In the category of Team Design, each team must solve a technical challenge by constructing a prototype with limited time and resources. At the end of the competition, the team with the best solution for and portotype is declared the winner.

The category of Case Study consists of the presentation of creative and innovative solutions to technical or management problems in limited time.

The winners of the local phase of each country, in our case the EBEC Lisbon, go on to the 2nd phase - the national competition (Portugal).

LEoE stands for Local Event on Education and its vision is to promote the discussion between students and collect their input regarding relevant educational topics at a local university level.

It also aims to provide opportunities for students, professors, university representatives (and even companies) to openly debate and exchange ideas and perspectives in a very well conducted and structured way.

One Challenge (Online Engineering Challenge) is a new competition organized by BEST Lisbon and NEEGI (Núcleo de Estudantes de Engenharia e Gestão Industrial).

This competition is an online case study organized for students at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST). It's a great event for students, to show their critical thinking skills as well as analysis skills while they solve a real world problem given by a company.

In addition to the diversity of local events, BEST seasonally organizes short courses throughout Europe.
