IAESTE Central European Region
The first Central European Convention (CEC) was held in May 1998 in Tuheljske Toplice, Croatia, on the initiative of Thomas Haim, former National Secretary IAESTE Austria, and Mario Kauzlaric, former National Secretary IAESTE Croatia. Because of the great success, the CEC is being held two times a year, and so far there have been 29 CECs. The countries participating in the CEC in 2012 decided to found the CER – “Central European Region”.
