FAECTOR is the recognised school association for Econometrics & Operational Research at the
Erasmus School of Economics in Rotterdam. The association has over 2200 members, which
makes it the largest econometric study association in the Netherlands. FAECTOR organises
social, educational, and career events. Members of FAECTOR will get discounts to their books
and access to all of the events that are organised. Students can join FAECTOR if they study the
Dutch Econometrie & Operationele Research programme, or if they study the International
Bachelor Econometrics & Operational Research or the double Bachelor Econometrics &
Economics programme.
FAECTOR organises career events with the aim of introducing students to econometrics in
practice. Econometrics is a highly demanded field of study on the job market. To connect
students to potential employers, FAECTOR organises events such as inhouse days,
presentations and company dinners. The highlight of the year is the Econometric Career Days,
which is the largest, multi-day recruitment event for econometrics students in the Netherlands.
The social events FAECTOR organises connect econometrics students from all study phases
with each other. Students get the opportunity to join drinks, trips, and many other fun activities.
Educational events grant the possibility for students to expand their econometric knowledge, and
also acquire several soft skills that the lecture halls do not offer. FAECTOR also organises an
extracurricular Excellence Programme.
