European BEST Engineering Competition (EBEC) is the biggest engineering contest in Europe with 3 levels, 26 countries, 80 leading technical universities and 5000 participants. EBEC is a series of engineering competitions organised by BEST (Board of European Students of Technology).
This year EBEC Final event will take place on Faculty of electrical engineering and computer science in the University of Zagreb, Croatia
Twenty six teams each composed of 4 students will bring new ideas and solutions for interesting problems which are given by companies. Those teams, gathered from 13 Regional and National Engineering BEST Competitions respectively, are now gearing up to face real life engineering challenges in the categories: Team Design (practical solution with a physical prototype) and Case Study (hypothetical solutions for real-life problems).
EBEC Final 2012 is supported by the University of Zagreb, the President of Croatia, Ivo Josipović, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Youth in Action and for the first time in its history of EBEC, by UNESCO.
