Past Races
Alumni are a big part of the success of the European International Submarine Races. Their achievements in earlier races set the benchmarks for new student teams to achieve and beat, and their enthusiastic support of this unique sport ensures that it continues to inspire generations of STEM graduates to pursue careers of their own in marine engineering.
This page is dedicated to the eISR alumni and their spectacular achievements.
