Vectum

Vectum is the study association for all students of Econometrics and Operations Research at the Maastricht University. It was founded in 1994 and, as of today, has about 280 members, including a rising number of foreign students. Throughout the year Vectum organizes a broad range of activities. The range of activities covers social events, such as drinks, sports events and a Members Weekend, as well as academic and career-related events. Examples of the latter would be regular research lectures, the Vectum Case Day or the Vectum Business Trip. We also have our own magazine, the PerVectum, which is published quarterly. Additionally, Vectum is part of LOES, the national association for all Econometrics students, and in cooperation with the LOES we offer the National Econometricians Day as a large recruiting event every year. Further, Vectum works in close cooperation with the department of Quantitative Economics on the evaluation and further development of the study program Econometrics and Operations Research.
