What is the econoMic Faculty association RotteRdaM?
the Economic Faculty association Rotterdam (EFR)
was officially founded in 1964. Forty-eight years
later, the EFR has distinguished itself by establishing
a reputation of being one of the largest, most active
and professional student organisations in Europe.
The EFR has over 4000 members and is run by 100
student members that voluntarily commit themselves
to organising activities for fellow students next to
their studies.
The EFR is the official study association of Erasmus
School of Economics (ESE) and is not to be confused
with a fraternity or a student association.
The EFR aims to bridge the gap between theory and
practice. The EFR’s strength lies in our rich history,
loyal partners and broad social and professional
networks. We give students the opportunity to gain
an early insight behind the scenes of the corporate
world and offer you a vibrant social scene ranging from
parties to study trips. Through the EFR, students get
the chance to meet business- and political leaders as
well as to mingle with a large number of enthusiastic
fellow students.
