The European Career Fair @ MIT (ECF) is an annual recruiting event organized by the MIT European Club.
The Fair offers an opportunity to:
- connect European employers with some of the brightest candidates who are interested in a career in Europe,
- increase awareness in the US about the opportunities that European research offers.
PARTNERS
The European Commission has been partnering with ECF since 2007 to promote Europe as a great place to pursue a career in science and technology, be it in industrial research, research organizations, academia or science policy. EU Member States will promote participation by their national research organizations and companies engaged in research. In 2012 EU Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science, Máire Geoghegan-Quinn visited in person our event.
Through the joined effort, the European Career Fair presents the best that Europe has to offer, in all its diversity: public, private, national and international.
Other valuable partners of ECF are:

The European Career Fair at MIT clearly is a "must"! The scale and density of interaction between bright young minds and exciting employers is second to none. The large German cluster with its numerous and diverse academic institutions and world-champion companies is simply impressive and demonstrates why Germany is proudly calling itself "Land of Ideas."

P&G R&D has been attending the MIT ECF since the first year it was organized and has never stopped going. On top of our recruiting in Europe directly, we have each year been able to identify top European scientists and engineers studying in the US who are willing to return to Europe to build their career. As of this year we will also search for people interested in a career in Asia. Every year we identify at least 15 potential candidates after the event.

I was part of the ECF team before and I am now on the other side of the booth. Last year's fair allowed me to make three final interviews, and one final hiring. I confirm that the event is still a success!
