ESST! ESST!! ESST!!!

Welcome to the homepage of the ESST students in Lausanne in 1999

ESST is short for "European studies in Society, Science and Technology" and is a one-year Master of Arts course organised by an association of European universities interested in the critical, inter-disciplinary study of the relationship between society, science and technology.

The title of this page is inspired by the phrase "Est Est Est", which comes from an Italian fable of a bishop who sent his servant ahead to sample the food of local merchants; good was marked Est or "it", Est Est meant "this is really it" and Est Est Est was the "best to be had".

It seems that this page has had its best time. As a group there isn't any news anymore, except that we will meet again in Engelberg. So the last news is, that this is the last news.... Goodbye!
Tue 9 Nov 99:
Congratulations and jubilations to Stine Pernille, Espen, and Jon Are for passing their thesyie!!! The rest of us must wait in fear a little longer... PS Any news must be notified to the group without delay.

We had a perfect weekend at Dixi's cottage on Sejerø in Denmark. Great to see the others again, of course (Lina was sorely missed, though). Sitting on the terrace in just a T-shirt in the middle of October, drinking a "green one", was simply a legendary experience! Definitely something to repeat.
The same can not be said about the "interesting" experience the Norwegians had on the way back, when the custom officers discovered 40 kilos of drugs in the luggage compartment of the bus. Being interrogated by the police, having our fingerprints taken and waiting 10 hours in a garage was not very pleasant. There was even an article about it in a Norwegian paper.
Mon 4 Oct 99:
We have handed in our theses!! We are no longer ESST students!

Stine Pernille started in her job today.
Thu 30 Sep 99:
A sad day, the last foreign ESST 1999 student has left Lausanne today. This web page is one of the few things that reminds us of some good old days in Switzerland.
