Where is the other tent ?
- from congress in Madrid, 2005
Alumni sekcija društva EESTEC v Ljubljani se je ustanovila z namenom, da bi se nekdanjih aktivni člani društva lahko povezovali, komunicirali in nenazdanje družili tudi po končanem študiju.
EESTEC je evropsko združenje študentov elektrotehnike in računalništva (Electrical Engineering STudents European assoCiation). Poslanstvo in vizija EESTEC-a sta vse od ustanovitve naprej povezava oz. vzpostavitev t.i. trikotnika “študent” – “industrija” – “študij”.

Glede na 14. člen društvenega statuta so lahko Alumni člani vsi nekdanji aktivni člani, s posebnimi zaslugami za delovanje društva v preteklosti t.j. organizacija oz. pomoč pri organizaciji vsaj enega mednarodnega projekta. Pravice imajo izenačene z Neaktivnimi člani. Zaključen študij ni pogoj.
Alumni sekcija deluje na neformalnem nivoju in je kot taka aktivnejša od leta 2009, ko je bila organiziran 1. večji dogodek t.i. Alumni večerja. Po letu 2009 se Alumni večerje tradicionalno odvijajo v mesecu oktobru ali novembru vsako leto. V letu 2014 alumni sekcija šteje 84 članov.
The idea of creating a European student organization for electrical engineering students was born in 1958, but preparation meetings started in 1963 in Paris, France. EURIELEC was founded in Berlin in 1964, with goals such as promoting contacts and practical work between foreign students of electrical engineering and also, exchanging information for study possibilities and excursions with other EE faculties. Official language of EURIELEC was French, and on the Congress in 1968 it was changed to English.
By 1984 the EESTEC idea was born. In the year 1985, representatives of three Dutch student guilds ETV (Delft), Thor (Eindhoven) and Scintilla (Enschede) forming the Committee for International Contacts (CIC) wrote a letter to old EURIELEC NatComs. It said that “From 1966 until 1971 there has existed a European Association of Electrical Engineering Students (EURIELEC). During this time, the student movement changed. The association died, according to the statutes. Your student association was a member of this Eurielec.”. They claimed in that letter to set up a new association with EURIELEC formers, “under the umbrella of an existing association like IEEE or ERUEL”. They said they were thinking about an annual meeting in one of the associated countries. 1986 FirstCongress in Eindhoven, The Netherlands The first EESTEC Congress was organized in 1986 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. It was arranged for 50 participants coming from 33 different cities in 17 different European countries. It seems there were not at that time Local Committees, introduced the year after with the old name of NatCom, which is National Committee.
