Introduction

The Financial Study association Rotterdam (FSR) is the study association for students interested in (Quantitative) Finance, Consulting, Accounting, and Controlling at Erasmus University Rotterdam, both at Erasmus School of Economics and Rotterdam School of Management. Each year we organize various prestigious events like the International Banking Cycle, International Research Project, Corporate Finance Competition, and the Private Equity Conference. Other activities include workshops, company visits, study trips, and company drinks. Additionally, the FSR helps professors arrange guest speakers for their courses. The FSR organises these activities for her 3400 members interested in finance and/or accounting. To make these events possible, the FSR has partnerships with over 100 companies in several sectors. Furthermore, the FSR has a strong connection with both the ESE and the RSM of Erasmus University.

Mission

The goal of the FSR is to create a link between theory – as taught at university – and the versatile financial world in practice. Events of the FSR are, because of our professional approach, always of high quality. This ensures that our members get the opportunity to easily find their way into the corporate world. Participation in one of our events helps FSR members to make the right decision at the start of their professional careers.

History

The FSR was established in 1999 through a merger between the Finance association Rotterdam ‘Pecunia’ and the Accounting & Controlling association ‘Pacioli’. Throughout the years the FSR has managed to build a good reputation in Rotterdam and in the rest of The Netherlands. Over the past two decades, we have grown to be the largest independent study association of Erasmus University. During this time, many students have been able to develop themselves in one of our former boards or committees. This has brought the FSR a rich network of alumni. Thanks to FSR events, many students have been able to find their way into the financial sector.
