Committees

Why be active during your study time?

Studying at the Erasmus University Rotterdam is very theoretical, this is a well-known fact. A lot of students wonder if there could be more to studying than just theory. When applying theory to practice, you are definitely learning something! Every year a large group of students decide to become an active member at the EFR (Economic Faculty association Rotterdam) to apply their theory and ideas in practice. As an active member you will not just participate in the activities of the EFR, but you will organize them yourself! Organizing the famous activities of the EFR is a lot of fun. Organising these activities does not interfere with your studies as you do our before or after your classes, according to your own schedule. In the process you will learn to work in a team as well as what it is like to be part of a large organization and you will meet a lot of new friends.

Why choose for EFR?

The EFR offers you as the possibility to experience what it's like to apply your theoretical knowledge in practice. Do you have a good idea of an activity that you would like to organize? At the EFR this is possible. Organizing activities at the EFR is not only a lot of fun, but also entails the perfect preparation for your future career. During your year at the EFR you will have the possibility to discover and develop a large variety of skills, which can be of use in your life after graduation. Working in teams, organizing meetings, negotiating and job interviews are only a few of the things that you will come across during the year. Besides these opportunities, you will get the chance to meet a lot of new people. The social aspect is very important. Therefore, all of the activities organized by the EFR aren't just marked by professionalism; they are also marked by a great deal of fun.

EFR Academy

As an active member of the EFR, with your committee or by yourself, you can voluntarily enroll in the EFR-Academy. The EFR-Academy is a development trajectory within the EFR that coaches all active members of the EFR. Through different training sessions, workshops and contact moments with your committee supervisor you will be able to discover and improve your skills. Due to the large number of corporate partners of the EFR that support the EFR-Academy, this has become a great reason for many students to become an active member at the EFR.
