History

The Local BEST Group of Torino is one of the original 14 groups which founded the association in 1989. BEST Torino is a voluntary, apolitical, non-profit, non-representative students’ association inside the Politecnico di Torino.

The 40 members of Local BEST Group Torino voluntarily dedicate part of their free time to reach and satisfy the objectives of our association. The number of members is subject to constant change, because members of the association must be currently studying at the Politecnico.
