What is IACES?
In 1989, Civil Engineering students from many European countries came together and held an academic congress. As a result of this congress, the International Association of Civil Engineering Students was established under the name of the International Association of Civil Engineering Students in order to improve the dialogue between Civil Engineering students in Europe. During the development process, a larger and more sustainable structure was created by reaching more than fifty universities. Iaces connects Civil Engineering students from different countries through local committees or university representatives, creating a common platform for organizing many different types of events. It offers the opportunity to look at Civil Engineering from a different perspective and get to know the cultures of different countries, thanks to activities such as various exchange programs, workshops and seminars, and competitions. By uniting on a common ground in different parts of the world, it gives the opportunity to develop new friendships and network since student years. We also operate on behalf of YTU Imk as the local committee of Iaces at Yıldız Technical University (LC Yıldız). We receive many applications through Iaces to the Civil Istanbul Engineering Conferences we organize every year, and we participate in events organized by other local committees.
