Testimonial ESR Spring Committee

Hi there! Are you interested in foreign countries, other cultures, traveling, and doing research within different companies? I believe European Study Research is something perfect for you! My name is Marloes Ter Horst and I organized ESR Spring 2019-2020 to Lisbon. Also, I participated ESR Fall 2019-2020 to Budapest and ESR Spring 2020-2021 to Sofia so I can explain you in detail what it is like to be part of ESR.

During my ESR Spring committee year, I was responsible for External Relations. For this function I took care of the day program by organizing many different company visits. I contacted varying companies that I am still connected with nowadays. You will learn how to communicate on business level, plan company visits, apply cold and warm acquisition but also bridge the gap between student and business. This all sounds quite serious of course and you will have to deal with this responsibility. However, what made ESR so wonderful for me is the balance between doing research and having a lot of fun. During your ESR period you will attend amazing parties and socials that are organized every week. You will make a lot of new friends with whom you will not only experience socials in Groningen before you go on the trip but also go wild in the bars and clubs during the entire week in a European city. During the day you set up a serious research and at night an unforgettable party! My ESR experience has supported a lot of motivation for my International Business study as well. I created a practical view on companies which could not be realized during my lectures. Therefore, it is a perfect addition to your university studies and you definitely will be amazed at how much it brings you.

So, sign up now and have fun!
