RSM students organise 10-day business networking event

Students have organised their own 10-day networking event to meet innovative and influential companies, meet inspiring business leaders and achieve their own career goals at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM). STAR Management Week starts later this month, from 28 October until 11 November 2015.

As one of the largest business and recruitment events in the Benelux countries, STAR Management Week is a tradition going back almost 30 years and is the highlight of the year for students at RSM. Highlights of the event this year are:

The Opening Ceremony features two inspirational speakers: Jeroen van der Veer, former CEO of Royal Dutch Shell, and Kees Jan de Jager, CFO at KPN, former Dutch Minister of Finance.
Honorary Discussions (3 November)
Students share their ideas with more than 30 guests, a great way to interact with captains of industry such as the CEOs of Shell, KPN, PwC, ING and Schiphol Airport.
International Academic Event (4 November)
A new academic event for STAR Management Week; two RSM professors and 20 students visit the BMW Brand Store on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. This one-day event focuses on innovation and change in the fast-moving automotive industry, which is challenged to create new forms of mobility by society.
Nomura Investment Banking Trip (9 November)
