Our mission is to connect top-tier US students and young professionals with European companies, universities, and non-profit organizations and help them learn about career opportunities in various fields, including robotics, pharmaceuticals, finance, aviation.
Organized since 1997, the ECF is the largest of its kind in the United States and has a proven track record providing domestic, foreign, and multinational companies access to some of the highest caliber applicants worldwide.
Our candidates are students and recent alumni of and renowned European and American universities. Our company participants are diverse, ranging from renowned multinationals to smaller, innovative firms and startups.
Every year, the European Club donates most of the ECF revenue to MIT for the funding of MISTI programs in Europe (ca. $40,000). For more information, please see the news reports from previous years below.
The main reason why companies come all the way from Europe to Boston is to meet and recruit top students in US institutions. Particularly, they are most interested in MIT and Harvard students. After each year's fair, they follow up and request statics about the attendees, including their schools, degrees, and fields of interest. Knowing and conveying this information in a clear convincing way ensures they keep coming to ECF every year and we keep donating our revenue to MISTI programs.
Thousands of students and young professionals attend the ECF every year. The number of registered candidates has recently been in the range of 2,500 - 4,500.
The majority of the candidates are MIT and Harvard students and graduates.
