The AIESEC office at the School of Economics and Management of the University of Porto (FEP) has been awarded the Business Relations Growth Award at the European conference EuroXPRO 2024, held from 19 to 23 March in Italy. The award recognises the team’s effort and dedication in expanding business partnerships, strengthening the connection between students and the job market. This achievement is even more significant considering the approximately 358 European offices.
EuroXPRO 2024 gathered around 450 participants from 39 European countries, along with guests from New Zealand, Mexico, and China. The event also saw the presence of AIESEC’s International Board, headquartered in Canada. During the conference, five of the seven members of AIESEC FEP’s Executive Board actively participated in training sessions, talks on mindset shifts, and networking opportunities. On one of the days dedicated to business relations, participants had the chance to engage with companies such as DHL, SAP, and Carter & Benson.
This recognition further reinforces FEP’s importance as a centre for the training and development of young leaders, promoting international experiences and professional growth opportunities for its students.
