FAQ
1. Do I have to sign up via the Econometric Career Days website for ECD Talks?
Yes, you need to create an account to get a ECD Talks ticket on the website. After subscribing, you will receive a confirmation email with your e-ticket. For members, you can log in with your FAECTOR account. If you are not a member of FAECTOR and do not wish to become one, you can make an account to sign up for the ECD Talks here.

Selection for the informal events, lunches and dinners is done through CV selection by the companies themselves. For all other events, the selection is done by an algorithm that takes into consideration all the participant’s preferences and aims to distribute everyone as fairly as possible.
3. Can I arrive later or leave earlier for a case?
No, once you sign up and are selected for a case, you have to attend the entire session.

We strive to let everyone know whether they are selected for the events they signed up a few days before the start of the ECD.
5. Until which date can I unsubscribe from an event?
The subscriptions close on the 5th of November at 23:59PM, until then you can still subscribe and unsubscribe for events.

After this date you can no longer unsubscribe, except for unforeseen circumstances.
