The largest and most popular part of the Bouwkunde Bedrijvendagen is the career market. This will take place on Wednesday the 4th of October 2023. The first floor of Vertigo, the faculty building of the built environment department, will be transformed into a notable exchange with a multitude of stands. This market aims to bring students into contact with the companies and vice versa. Participation in the career market is possible through establishing your own information stand. This stand will be in possession of your company during the afternoon. The catering, which includes a comprehensive lunch, will be provided by us for you. In the period leading up to the Bouwkunde Bedrijvendagen, all students of the built environment will be notified about the large, upcoming career market.

This will be achieved through promotional materials such as posters and flyers, recommendations from professors and teachers, active promotion and promotion via social media. With this emphasis on promotion, the Bouwkunde Bedrijvendagen strives to increase the number of students visiting the career market even more. You will present your company in the Company Guide, which forms a reference work for all students with an overview of all participating companies.

Closing drink

The Career Market will be concluded with a drink. At this drink, the participating companies, sponsors, the committee of recommendation, and the students are most welcome to end the day in a successful way with a drink and a bite.

As in other years, we will also give the company the possibility to talk with students individually. These 15-minute conversations will take place on the 4th of October 2023 from 8:45am to 12:30pm. This morning offers a unique chance to talk with the students, that are selected by you based on their CV’s, about your company and the career possibilities for the student. The morning will consist of ten rounds of conversation prior to the Career Market. If there is a need for more conversations, then there is a possibility to reserve another room, provided that enough students have signed up for this.

During the ‘Company Dinner,’ companies and students get the chance to get in contact with each other in an informal way. The dinner will consist of a three-course menu where students will switch tables after every course. Per course, a maximum of 4 students will be sitting together with your company. The Company Dinner will take place on October 11th, 2023.

The war in Ukraine continues to affect people living in the country’s cities. But amid the destruction and ongoing conflict, the country is  determined to rebuild its cities and restore its cultural heritage.

Throughout history and around the world, there are numerous examples of cities that have been rebuilt after war, some almost completely. What happens when a city is rebuilt from the ground up, and what geopolitical and economic realities do its citizens face? Exploring war-torn cities that have undergone remarkable transformations after periods of war and destruction, such as Rotterdam in the Netherlands, allows us to delve into the intricacies, strategies, and lessons learned from the rebuilding process.

In collaboration with Studium Generale, this discussion brings three experts together to discuss and share their views and experiences of post-war reconstruction and reform, with a particular focus on the situation in Ukraine.

The discussion about ‘rebuilding war-torn cities’ will take place on the 10th of October from 19:30 to 21:00 at ‘LAB1’ at the Keizersgracht 19, Eindhoven.

You will receive a Studium Generale point for this activity. If you want this point, subscribe at studiumgenerale-eindhoven.nl or click on the image below to immediately go to the website.
