The local chapters, a distinction between the so-called Local Committees ( LCs ), Junior Local Committee ( JLCs ) and Observer.

During a Exchanges Members of LCs visit each other. There are here mainly the cultural exchange as well as getting to know a foreign city and university in the foreground.
Internships
EESTEC organized so-called Internship Programs for its members.
