This is who we are: The network.

The INEX network gathers partners from various fields to create a think tank for all actors and benefiting societies through its community work for sustainability.
The INEX network has grown considerably within the past three years of existence and we are proud to give an overview of who our network consists of.

"Thank you all for your passionate dedication and willingness to make this work."
Fabienne Babinsky, INEX CoFounder

Universities.

"During an international INEX program students learn important cultural differences that will later allow them to improve trade relations between our two parts of the world. Getting to know European young professionals will help us extend our traditions of peace and friendship."
Illeana Castillo, Director of the Office of International Education at ULACIT

Universidad Latinoamericana de Ciencia y Tecnologia

Universities – as incubators of knowledge – are the main source of momentum and development of human capital. Therefore we are proud to say that our network of partner universities, who understand that they are actually shaping the future, has literally exploded over the past three years. INEX has negotiated credit transfer possibilities with European, US-American and Chinese universities and has gotten into formal exchange relations in order to facilitate global knowledge transfer.

 


Students.


“What an unrivalled experience to be able to combine academic courses, language training, and intercultural experience with getting to know this beautiful country of Costa Rica!"
Martin Zanner, former student and Tax Consultant at Deloitte


With its network of high potentials INEX has grown a pool of knowledge. Students participating at INEX programs are often just a few months away from receiving their university degrees and already possess most of the skills that institutions would pay enormous salaries for only a few months later. We have those high potentials, learning and helping!
Through its range of partner universities INEX has opened up new opportunities for students to broaden their horizon with an educational experience in a different country and a different cultural framework. Due to the diverse background of the participating students as well as the variety of tasks assigned to them during the program INEX is able to create a melting pot of innovative ideas and concepts and wide-reaching learning possibilities.

INEX is now launching the Student Councilto fulfill the networking needs of all those who share the same passion: Latin American culture, a sustainable futurea and the spanish language! Let's create a new space for innovative ideas and projects together.

Coporate Partners.


"Today, companies are expected to take more responsibility for themselves, for their conduct in society, and for the social and environmental impact they make."
Christopher Pinney, Center for Corporate Citizenship, Carroll School of Management,
Boston College, USA

It’s everywhere in the media: the claim that companies have the responsibility to give back to the community, to actively engage in environmental protections measures and support sustainable development. INEX is serving as a bridge between those corporations wanting to really make an impact and help, people in need (e.g. the communities that receive help from INEX and program participants/students), knowledgeable institutions (e.g. partner universities, members of the advisory board), and students with a high potential to become to the leaders of tomorrow.
The impact that corporations (can) make can hardly be overstated. Therefore we encourages companies to be part of what we are doing, support INEX pograms and students with all means, and reap the benefits of facilitating education and activity in this field.


NPOs, NGOs and Governments.

Non-profit organizations are the center of countless life-changing movements and engagements in various fields of environmental protection, sustainable development and fair business practices. Governments are the ones who can influence movements on a large scale and put national (or even global) attention to a topic and often have the means to realize outstanding developments due to their power. As a logical consequence INEX is building partnerships with governmental as well as non-governmental and other non-profit organizations, sharing forces and strengths to have an even bigger positive impact. Our partners, large and small, are known for their dedication and striving to make the world better in various areas. Although each organization has its own focus we are happy to share many identical goals and therefore form strategic alliances and build friendships with the ones who really stand out.

Communities can be defined geographically, by culture or organizations and usually center around a common identity, shared values and beliefs. Together all different communities make up society as a whole and influence the daily lives of all human people. It is therefore of utmost importance to work directly with a community and its people, share knowledge on a grass roots level and make sure that the people themselves are never forgotten in any discussions about development and its impact.
INEX is spending a lot of time and effort to work with communities and has made defined community development projects as one of its core element for the upcoming Summer University programs. We are convinced that our students can learn a lot from local communities with which they are dealing during an INEX program, and we know for sure that we can give back to those communities as well as the society during our work and projects in the developing world and industrialized nations.
