EET

EET is an acronym that may refer to multiple concepts. The most widely recognized is Eastern European Time, a time standard used in parts of Eastern Europe and the eastern Mediterranean. It is defined as UTC+2.

In regions that observe daylight saving time, Eastern European Time is followed by Eastern European Summer Time (EEST), which is UTC+3. The use of EET and EEST varies by country and year, and some countries have changed or ceased observing daylight saving time. Countries across Eastern Europe, the Baltic states, the Caucasus, and parts of the Middle East and Africa have historically used EET, with variations in seasonal clock changes.

Beyond timekeeping, EET is used as an acronym in various domains to denote different terms. In computing, finance, and organizational contexts, it can stand for terms such as estimated execution time or other project- or organization-specific phrases. These meanings are not standardized and depend on the particular field or institution, so the intended sense should be inferred from context.

Summary: EET most commonly refers to a time zone with standard time UTC+2 and summer time UTC+3, known as Eastern European Time and Eastern European Summer Time, respectively. It can also function as a general acronym in diverse sectors for nonstandard terms. See also time zones, UTC, and daylight saving time for related concepts.
