Economic Faculty Association Rotterdam
Encyclopedia
The Economic Faculty Association Rotterdam (EFR) has close to 4000 members and is one of the most active faculty associations in the Netherlands
.
The EFR sets objectives for the students by filling the gap between theory and practice. They do this by organising a large number of activities. One of their most popular activities is EFR-Business Week
, one of the most prestigious and professional student conferences in Western Europe.
Together with STAR, the EFR co-organises the largest campus recruitment event in the Netherlands, the Erasmus Recruitment Days. In there were approximately 1500 participating students and more than 120 companies present.
One of the international activities of EFR is the EuroTour, an international exchange project with foreign students where students visit each other's university
and country and take part in company visits.
EFR has its own publication called Eclaire through which it communicates to its members. This magazine is published six times a year and 5500 issues are distributed among students and business associates. Moreover the EFR organises a wide range of readings, forums, lectures, workshops and trainings.
In the forty years that followed, the VVS has served up trade high school and, from September 1939, the Dutch College for economics in human activities. On 11 November 1964 the members of the general member meeting decided to rename the association to the "Economic Faculty association Rotterdam".
As from 1969, a new phenomenon was introduced called the Dispute. The onderverenigingen had been intended especially for the progressed students who kept themselves busy with their main subjects. In the academic year 1977/1978, EFR-Bulletin was published for the first time; a communication booklet was distributed after the lectures. In the following year EFR-Courant was introduced. Later the booklet took the form of the magazine Eclaire.
Under the governing board of the academic year 1980/1981, an event took place with the subject of "America", which became known as the so-called paradepaardje of the EFR. Later on the board of 1984/1985 named the same event the "EFR-Business Week
".
