About Us

FAECTOR is the official school association for aspiring econometrics students at Erasmus University Rotterdam. FAECTOR was founded in 1966 and with more than 2400 members and 95 active members in 19 committees, we aim to enrich the student experience of all econometricians in the broadest sense of the word.

As FAECTOR, we strive to fulfil this ambition by organising the largest and most diverse portfolio of projects and events available to students of Econometrics in the Netherlands. This has not been without success: since our foundation in 1966, we have been an ever-growing association, with more members and projects every year. Currently, we are the largest and most prestigious association for Econometrics students worldwide, with more than twenty career events and many more activities every year. Our portfolio of projects and events can roughly be divided into three areas related to the themes of Career, Education and Social.

Within the Career theme, our members have the opportunity to come into contact with a lot of companies to meet their future employers. With successful events like the Econometric Career Days (ECD), Financial Markets Tour (FMT), Find Your Match, Business Trip and multiple Inhouse Days, FAECTOR is the best way to a successful career.

Within the Education theme, our members have the opportunity to broaden or deepen their knowledge in econometrics and related interesting areas. With successful events like the Excellence Programme, FAECTOR Research Project (FRP) and Workshop Cycle, FAECTOR is the best way for students to develop themselves from a professional perspective.

Within the Social theme, our members have the opportunity to meet Econometrics students from different study phases and form everlasting friendships. With events like the City Trip, Ski Trip, Interfaculty Gala, After Exam drinks, multiple parties and sports tournaments (like soccer, poker and pool), FAECTOR is the best way for students to enrich their student life beyond studying.
