Q & A
NESU Conference is a seven days long conference that gathers 60 business students and several companies all together to challenge themselves with a chosen theme. This autumn’s the theme will be “DRIVING GROWTH IN A DYNAMIC MARKET”.
The week consists of four business cases providing solutions for real companies’ specific issues. As a counterbalance to the day program there is of course evening program to network with new and old friends. The week climaxes with a grand gala on Saturday and a farewell gathering on Sunday.
Our organizing team is so excited to have your company as our partner! This page is directed at participants, so be sure to check our PARTNERS page for more information about collaboration.
You can participate if you are a student at your local business school. If there is a NESU organization in your city of studies, you are automatically accepted as a member of NESU. You don’t need to have a NESU organization to participate.
Unfortunately, students from Tampere university can only participate if there are places available after applicants from other cities are chosen.
There are plenty of reasons why you should participate, but here are few for starters:
1. You get to learn a lot about the theme through the real life company cases. You also get to connect with the company representatives.
2. You get to network and have fun with the other business students. After the week you have several new friends all around the different NESU countries.
3. NESU Conference is the best time of a human being’s life. The week is like no other event you’ve experienced before!
The application period starts on the 18th of September and ends on the 1st of October 2023. You have a week to write your best motivation letter to introduce yourself and show why you should be chosen to join the conference as a participant.
