THINKING EMPLOYMENT?

THE BUSINET STUDENT CONFERENCE
Edinburgh 25-29 November 2018

STUDENT INFORMATION

Businet has hosted a student conference annually for over 20 years. The student event is designed to enable you to interact with new people, from different cultural backgrounds, to work and play together in the beautiful city of Edinburgh. You will also get the chance to travel to Stirling to sample Experiential Learning* in a different environment. The concept of bringing students from different countries and institutes together to network and learn has been one that Businet has championed since 1997. In 2017 a review of the venue and programme led to the further evolution of the event.

The "Thinking Employment" event 2018 features a programme that will:

The programme will be delivered by members of industry and by academics in the disciplines that underpin the conference aims. In Edinburgh the conference events will be held in centrally located, prestigious venues.
A dedicated App will be made available before the conference to help delegates get maximum benefit from the event and to assist with communication between delegates.

There are 110 places available. Before 30 September there will be a maximum of 5 home students per institute, plus up to 5 "guest” students from outside of the home country, currently studying at your institute. If places remain at 30 September that allocation will increase.
