On November the 25th 2010, Asset | Economics will organise the Economics Day. The purpose of this day is to give economics students a clear view of their career perspectives after graduating, and to bring economics students in contact with future employers. Just like last year, the Economics Day will be (at least partially) in English to reach both Dutch students and international students.

The programme of the day:

14.30     Opening room

15.00     Welcome speech by the chairman of the Economics Day Committee

15.10     Opening speech provided by prof. dr. Eric van Damme

15.30     Keynote speech provided by prof. Kees Cools, professor at Groningen University and partner at Booz&Co

16.20     Break

16.40     Company presentation by PwC

17.05     To be announced

18.20     End of the afternoon program

19.15     Commencement business dinner at ‘Villa de Vier Jaargetijden’ with AEGON, KPMG, Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment and BoFEB.

During the business dinner, students will have the opportunity to get in contact with recruiters. The dinner consists of three courses; you'll be seated with one of the four participating companies during each course. Students that have subscribed for the business dinner have been notified whether they are invited for the business dinner. For the speeches and the company presentations, there is no CV-selection.

A short description of the keynote speech that will be given by Kees Cools:
The science of incentives, economics, does not take human behaviour into full account and for economists - just as for all other human beings - the saying applies none so blind as those who will not see. How can we see the next crisis coming and act pre-emptively?

The Economics Day is free of charge and no subscription is needed. For more information, feel free to contact us.

We hope to see you all on the Economics Day 2010!
