STeLA Leadership Forum 2016

​STeLA (Science and Technology Leadership Association) is an international networking organization aimed at developing outstanding students’ leadership skills by organizing a demanding annual forum. This forum focuses on personal development through intensive feedback. Excellent students from universities worldwide are brought together to form a lasting network, ready to tackle global issues as one community.
