EFR Business Week Committee

Each year, six enthusiastic students organize the EFR Business Week. From August onwards, they work nine months full time towards an innovative and inspiring event. During this time span letters are written, plans are thought out and gradually concepts are transforming into a well-shaped event. Setting up contact with (internationally) renowned speakers, visiting companies, meeting prominent person in various fields of expertise and designing unprecedented marketing stunts are some of the daily activities of the committee members. It is a great challenge and privilege to work on a project which truly can be crafted according to your vision, together with five amazing, ambitious and invigorating fellow committee members. You will face difficulties during this period, but you will overcome these struggles together. After nine months, these six students have a backpack stuffed with new skills which will be useful for their future.

About me: I love to run. Soon I will run the half marathon and this year I am planning to run the marathon of Rotterdam. Setting goals and achieve what you think you can not achieve is what I believe is the meaning of life. Often many people limit themselves to what they can do. What you believe, remember, you can achieve. Go above and beyond your levels, expectations and targets. Good luck!
